> I recently added 4GB to the existing 2GB I had. The BIOS and lshw recognize the memory configuration (2 dimm of 1G and 2 of 2G), but /prc/meminfo and a test program I ran recognize 3.2GB. |

What kind of RAM did you use? Intel motherboard are extremely picky |
| 99 |
about RAM - CAS 5 1.8V stuff only. I think they mandate the PCB is |
| 100 |
green as well =). Still tho, odd lshw is picking up all the DIMMS are |
| 101 |
installed but OS can't see it. +1 on memtest. |
