hi all,
 im confused:
	bios says 4096 MB

	FreeBSD says: real memory  = 3824680960 (3735040K bytes)
	btw, windows 2k also.

	the S2466 Tiger MPX manual says:
	 * The AMD-760 MPX requieres a portion of memory to be reserved for PCI
	   devices ...

	the Addendum says:
	* AMD chipset architecture requieres memory above 3.5GB to be reserved
	  for PCI devices.

so
	Q1: is this AMD specific, or also true for P3/P4?
	Q2: is there any way of accessing the 'lost' memory? ie some device
	    driver?
comments?
thanks,
	danny
