10 Just a quick suggestion to help rule it out: try booting a LiveCD or other
11 "one-size-fits-most" medium and seeing if your full memory is registering
12 there. If it is, then it's not a hardware malfunction; if it doesn't, then
13 either you've got bad hardware or a configuration issue in your BIOS.
