It's Intel-quad, so there are 4 CPUs.
Weird. The message about the MTRR on all the CPUs not maching sound
like a strange bios bug. Are you running the latest bios version?
See the story below.
Looks to match the MTRR setup at least. So how much ram does the kernel

What does your mtrr look like? How about dmesg? Might be the stupid
mtrr setup some bioses have been doing on intel chips where it would do:
4GB range at 4GB
1GB range at 8GB
512MB range at 9GB
256MB range at 9.5GB
etc.
And then it runs out of entries (which pisses of X).

I can't see whole 8GB of ram.
With F2 BIOS release i can only work with kernel param mem=4G.
