1 Hi there!

3 I have 4GB of RAM, but the system is swapping A LOT. I think I will have
4 to go to 64 bit, but I need some time for that, and I need to use the
5 system in the meantime.

7 But: free -m shows only 2787 MB of total memory. I know I cannot use all
8 the 4G, but shouldn't there be at least 3GB or even a little more
9 available? What is your output of free -m?
