| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I see a strange effect which puzzles me. |
| 4 | I have two AMD64 (~amd64) Systems. Both have 8Gb memory installed |
| 5 | as reported by their BIOS as well as by lshw. |
| 6 | One is a somewhat older Opteron, the other one a recent Phenom II. |
| 7 | But the output of 'free -m' differs significantly |
| 8 | |
| 9 | On the Phenom II there a total of 7738 Mb |
| 10 | but on the old Opteron there a total of 6477 Mb only. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The 2.6.36 kernel is configured nearly identical (just a different SATA |
| 13 | driver). |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Has anybody an idea where this comes from? |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Many thanks for a hint, |
| 18 | Helmut. |
