Hi Jamie,
I'm not running a kernel that supports more than 4G or RAM so I'm not
worried that it reports less than 5GB.
However it reports about 400k less than 4GB so that is really the
question. Why does top and other utilities only report about 3.6GB?

Hi all,
I have a server which has 5GB memory in it.
BIOS reports 5120GB and that's fine.
Top in CentOS linux reports 3632188 total.
Is that 5GB physical RAM? How big is your swap?
Are you running a kernel that supports more than 4G of RAM?

Hi all,
Just to ask a bit more...
The server has 5GB mem but top reports 3632188KB.
That is approx 400K missing.
I have another server with 4GB and it reports 34KB approx with
around 600K missing.
Shouldn't top report 410 approx (whatever the numbers are).

More specifically, the bigmem 32-bit kernel uses PAE to use RAM greater
than 4GB.
The bad news is that this doesn't

But can you use a 64bit kernel on a 32bit processor?
I was assuming you couldn't however I'm happy to be corrected.
No you can't. It uses special 64-bit instructions that
are not supported on 32-bt processors. Note that there
are a lot of
we need to know kernel version, architecture and distro version to
answer better Ben.

32 bit machines can't use more than 4G. Bigmem kernels fiddle and go partway
but to use more than 4G use 64 bit!
