I had 1.5 GB (333 Mhz) in a system running Sarge with a 2.6 kernel and all of it was used. I've just replaced the .5 GB stick with a 1 GB stick, giving me 2 GB of RAM. When I boot, the motherboard reports 2 GB, but when I check:

I'm actually better off with the .5GB stick in place of the 1GB stick. What can I do to get Linux to use all the RAM? Thanks!
