It could be that this is memory mapped space for your graphic card and likely to be an absolute correct value. > sysctl: > No unusually high values in kern.malloc or vm.zone. > vm.vmtotal: > System wide totals computed every five seconds: (values in kilobytes) > =============================================== > Processes: (RUNQ: 5 Disk Wait: 1 Page Wait: 0 Sleep: 84) > Virtual Memory: (Total: 18014398507962985K, Active 21213936K) > Real Memory: (Total: 418416K Active 213808K) > Shared Virtual Memory: (Total: 66408K Active: 64272K) > Shared Real Memory: (Total: 59448K Active: 58192K) > Free Memory Pages: 580872K Well having 21213936K active is clearly wrong. > hw.chipset.ports: 1108034453504 > hw.chipset.memory: 1099511627776 > hw.chipset.dense: 1099511627776 What's wrong with those values? That's addressspace not physical memory. Alphas have plenty of addressspace no need to be thrifty with it. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
