debian squeeze wrong RAM reading
Hi!
I'm running Debian 6 (squeeze) amd64 version and as I look on the total memory size, it only reads 3224184k but my machine actually has 4GB of RAM installed. What could be the issue? Thanks |
It would be the right number if you use the 32bit version. You can enable more using the PAE kernel (bigmem). It is really the 64bit version, then it is something else. Use uname -a get see if your kernel is really 64bit.

here's the reading:
Code:
# grep flags /proc/cpuinfo Code:
#uname -a Code:
#top |
I think if you have got a build-in graphics-card, the memory you miss is used for the graphics-card.
I got 4Gb too, and a build-in graphics, and i get shown this: Code:
top - 10:29:27 up 2:06, 4 users, load average: 0.55, 0.53, 0.93 |
It may also be possible that the needed memory remapping is simply not available from your BIOS or de-activated in the BIOS-settings. Please post manufacturer and model of your mainboard.
