i don't think MAXMEM is the problem. I have an Athlon with 256 MB RAM (2 PC133 sticks) and it worked fine out of the box. but i am running 4.3-RELEASE. would that make a difference ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesse Geddis" <sgeine@yahoo.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 9:58 PM Subject: RE: RAM Memory Question > have you tried setting the MAXMEM option in your kernel? > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Chris Angell > Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 8:27 AM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: RAM Memory Question > > > Helpers, > > I have a FreeBSD machine running 4.5 Release.
