[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ zgrep -E 'CONFIG_(MTRR|K8_NUMA|DISCONTIGMEM|
GARTIOMMU)' /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_MTRR=y
CONFIG_K8_NUMA=y
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
though, CONFIG_GART_IOMMU must have been disabled, and I remember I did not
enable gart at all because I'm having Nvidia GeForce 6600GT (PCI-express) and
wanna use the `Option "NvAGP" "1"` line in my xorg.conf - this is at least
what I had with my old GeForce 5200 working before.

that's really borring looking at the Mem-total line, it should be anything
around 4048, not 3015 anyway...
though, it's unfortunately *not* the same as you.
but, why duo have a total-mem of 3429M? how much RAM duo have physically
plugged in to your board's slots?
