Subject: [ale] Why doesn't any OS see my memory?


Sorry to interrupt everyone's trolling for Aaron, but I have an actual
technical question.

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
