Package: general Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I recently installed 4x1GiB sticks of DDR RAM into my PowerMac G5 DP 2.0 GHz. Apple indicates the maximum amount of RAM supported is indeed 8GiB. The system is fully usable, it runs without problems in any area, pretty much, but I would like to know if it is using the full 8GiB since in system monitor it states only 5.8 GiB total are registered. Please, if you are able to direct me, or fix, thanks. There would certainly be a performance boost in say things like Kdenlive for me if the missing ~2GiB were restored. P.S. I've attached output of 'cat /proc/meminfo' for reference.
