RAM ?

I just installed another 2 GB of RAM and the system reports 3.86 total on my openSuse 10.2 64 bit system. I'm already pretty sure that Windows will only see 3 GB since it is a 32 bit system. Does anyone's system report that they have 4 GB? Or is 3.86 some kind of maximum?

If you're running a 64bit OS and don't see all 4GB in user mode, then there's something wrong with the system software configuration. 32bit OSs can't access the part of the 4GB of RAM which is in the address range of the I/O space.

My 64 bit OS doesn't see 0.14 GB or about 140 mb. Just wondered why.

I hope I didn't misunderstand your post but, if you're operating system is 32bits and, it's a Windows system, some of the RAM will be reserved for system devices. This may be the cause for your system displaying less than it's full compliment of RAM. On 64bit Windows systems, the full amount of RAM should be displayed. On both of my previous 32bit Windows systems (Windows 98SE, Windows XP), some of the RAM was allocated to other devices and resulted in a RAM display that was slightly less than what I knew was installed.
