i'm not sure i understand. i _can_ use the last half GB? but the
kernel doesnt report it as available? could you please explain this
further or point me towards some other documentation? if i put 8gb of
ram in this machine what will the kernel report as available?
to respond to myself, i tested 8gb of ram and the kernel
(2.4.22-1.2129.nptlsmp) only reports 3.5gb.
all pointers/tips/insight/solutions welcome!
