Memory on new computer

[Martín Marqués]

I had a problem with my main board and CPU and had to buy a new one.
Also memory, as the old computer had DDR2 memory.

Th problem is that I see only 3.5Gb of memory, while I had a 4Gb bank
put in the Motherboard (the motherboard says it can handle up to 32Gb
or ram).

I saw this in dmesg:

[    0.000000] Memory: 3491896k/4702208k available (6177k kernel code,
1053240k absent, 157072k reserved, 7004k data, 1004k init)

Why do I get this:

$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       3513412    2591976     921436          0       8332     914584
-/+ buffers/cache:    1669060    1844352
Swap:            0          0          0
