I've installed additional 2GB of RAM into my Thinkpad Z61p. My kernel (latest SUSE-10.2-64bit) sees only 3GB of 4GB!
Do i have to setup anything to see the whole memory?
I've seen this reported elsewhere (on a ThinkPad T60) and it was basically a restriction in the BIOS that prevented the OS from seeing all 4GB of RAM. You might want to look for a BIOS upgrade, or setting - but I'd be prepared to be disappointed if I were you.
I just bought one of my staff a Dell M90 with 4G of RAM. He has the same issue under Vista. Turns out, the motherboard on these laptops (which may be similar to yours) only can address something like 3.2G.
Wierd.
That seems unlikely. Dell would be setting themselves up for a massive class action lawsuit if they knowingly offered 4gig of memory on a machine that could not use it. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
