[PLUG] Memory Question

["Brian Vagnoni" <bvagnoni@v-system.net>]

Hi All;

Have a 2GHz 2 x  Dual core Op64 running Opensuse 10.3 latest kernel; 64 bit.

Tyan mobo with 8 slots. I have 6x512 2x1G sticks.

BIOS report 5GB

<4>Memory: 4325212k/5242880k available (2053k kernel code, 81632k reserved, 1017k data, 316k init)

But under Suse KDE sysino I get the following:

Total memory (RAM):  4.1 GB
  Free memory:  2.7 GB (+ 860.0 MB Caches)
  Free swap:  1.8 GB

Why....? Thanks in advance
