We have a bunch of newish Dell workstations with 4 gig of RAM. The BIOS sees
it all. But when we boot to Linux or Windows only about 3.5 Gig is there. I
mean that the various tools to display the RAM should only 3.5 Gig.
Actually, Windows and Linux show slightly different amounts, but both are
significantly below 4 gig.

Is this normal? Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks,

Michael
