+          If you have 4GB or more memory installed, but Fedora only shows around 3.5GB or 3.7GB, you have probably installed a 32bit version of Fedora on a 64bit kernel. For modern systems, the 64bit version of Fedora is recommended. Refer to <xref linkend="sn-which-arch" /> for more details.

 	 <para>
 		Sometimes, the kernel does not recognize all of your memory (RAM). The following procedure will allow you to confirm this and then adjust the kernel if necessary.
