Today I tried a modified Mac OS X install disk (uphuck 1.3) just to see, out of curiosity, what hardware would be identified - and the OS X installer reported 4GB. So does the Bios, now that I looked at it.
I have not installed OS X, so it may be that part of the memory is allocated to the GPU (although the T60p has, unfortunately, the ATI FireGL 5250 and I think it has it's own memory). I'm running the 2.6.22.17-0.1-bigsmp kernel. Should I change the kernel to use the 4GB? Or switch to 64Bit?
Not that I really need the extra 1GB, it's just a little stupid to have this memory sitting there unused.... The -bigsmp kernel should support up to 64GB. However the memory must share the 32bit address space with other hardware like PCI devices. Usually 1GB is reserved for PCI addresses and the BIOS must map

Check if the BIOS provides any options for mapping memory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
