Thanks guys, Interesting... What I found on http://www.tyan.com/support/html/f_tg_mp.html: ======= "AMD chipset architecture requires memory above 3.5GB to be reserved for PCI devices. You will typically see 3.6-3.8GB available." ======= Sounds like it is not a problem! I found similar problems with Intel! DELL Precision & Red Hat & Intel Pentium 64-bit, and with XEON too. Sounds like DELL uses same BIOS/Architecture/Motherboard/Phoenix BIOS/etc. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32252 5 And even 64-bit Windows: http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php/t8663.html However, can I really have 12-16 Gb on TYAN S2895? It's written on their site "teoretically supports up to 16Gb, but not tested", have a fun, guys! "Tyan Computer Corporation, founded in 1989 by long-time Intel and IBM executive, Dr. T.

I was able to make OS see all the system memory (8 Gb) enabling "memory node interleave" and "memory hole mapping: software" in BIOS. That probably will penalize your performance a bit .. I guess the missing memory is what is called PCI memory hole ... Dima. --- Fuad Efendi <fuad@efendi.ca> wrote:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, TYAN K8WE S2895, BIOS v.1.01 2 x Opteron 252 Troy. 4 x OCZ 1024MB DDR ECC PC3200 (Server Series) of memory. BIOS tests are Ok.
However, SLES 9 finds only 3 Gb instead of 4 Gb. All BIOS settings are default; installation is default.
Thanks!
