I recently put 4 GB of memory in my Acer Travelmate 8210 series notebook. The BIOS only detects 3 GB.
I googled around a little. It appears to be a chipset limitation of the 945gt, which uses the fourth gig for devices. Now I can understand this explanation for 32-bit mode, but I'm running in 64-bit mode. There should be a way to use the fourth gig under Linux. Is there? Has anyone else solved this problem? What happens if you just use the mem= option to tell the kernel you have 4 GB? I'd just try it but I don't want to corrupt my buffer cache and get crap writte over my data on disk. Any advice?
