I noticed that (with 256 megs RAM) that I really have only 248 usable -- 8M is showing up as 'reserved' by the kernel. That's with mandrake 8.1, and I haven't noticed that before -- usually it should 'reserve' about 384 K - because of the unusable region in pc low memory. My best guess its shared video, but I've got a Matrox Millenium with 16 megs RAM here and I didn't notice the missing 8M until somewhat recently. > true enough about heat, probly the most common cause of truly "random" > lockups especially if you include broke CPU fans in the "heat" catagory, > however taking the sides off, while an acceptable temporary test method, in Doesn't removing the top (or side?) negate one of the purposes of fans - that is to pull out the heat from inside?
