Hello every one, I have installed FreeBSD-7.0_RELEASE on Dell Power
Edge 1950 Quad Core and 4GB of RAM.
The problem is that FreeBSD does not recognize all of the RAM.
This is part of the dmesg.

This is not a problem of FreeBSD but of i386/x86 architecture which max
memory limit is 4GB i theory and 3-3.5GB in practice, you can use PAE to
use 36bit addressing (instead of default 32bit) for memory to get full
4GB on i386 but you will not be able to have loadable kernel modules for
example, other sollution for this is using amd64/64bit FreeBSD, where
you will have full 4GB and even more without any problems.
