Mates,
This was probably answered before, but I couldn't find it on a quick search. I have a dell optiplex GX280 and I just installed 4G of ram. The Bios sees all 4G just fine, but when I look at the memory with free it only shows 3G seen. Like:
david@providence:~> free -tm total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3040 717 2322 0 54 450 -/+ buffers/cache: 212 2828 Swap: 1027 0 1027 Total: 4068 717 3350
What is the trick to getting all of the memory to be recognized? If there is a quick opensuse link, just shoot me that. Thanks.
P.S. Terrible problem only having 2.3G free, instead of 3.3G free. But with 2G chips running $40, it's hard to pass up.
Some chipsets don't actually allow access to the full 4 GB. This might be one of them.

That's strange, In BIOS setup it correctly shows all 4 gigs, so shouldn't they be available since they are correctly recognized in the BIOS? Which chipset are you referring to? memory controller, etc.? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
