Due to kernel address map limitations, unless your kernel is configured

Otherwise you need to recompile your kernel.
Hi marty and others. Here's my meminfo. I guess I'm ok, then?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1036524 kB
That looks good. I expect a few MBs difference due to legacy hardware
issues, chipset differences and BIOS settings.
Hi marty and all,
These little differences about the size of the mem modules always make
me wonder, actually... They look weird. Anyway, debian is running happily.
One vendor told me there's a way to enable some double channel
configuration, if you have two mem modules, that goes way faster. I
didn't find it on my BIOS. Is there such a thing, and how do I enable it?
Finally you may want to think about testing the memory, especially if
you suspect any instability, but that's a different thread.
I did. That was the very first thing I did after hooking up the module.
I was afraid what a defective module could do to my beloved debian
system, so I run memtest86 for 30 min without problems, before booting
debian with the new module. My prior experience with memtest was that it
would find problems before 2 or 3 min running. What do you think?
