I recently put together a system that uses the Asus K7V motherboard with Crucial PC133 ECC RAM. I bought 2 128MB DIMMs. The BIOS is seeing the RAM correctly as 264144K, but FreeBSD has 262064K listed under real memory. I thought this was odd and wanted to make sure one of the DIMMs wasn't bad so I removed both and then tried one at a time. No matter which DIMM I use and which slot I put it in the BIOS sees 131072K and FreeBSD sees 130992K. The only other thing that is strange about this setup is that the K7V BIOS currently has a known problem when you enable ECC so ECC is currently disabled on my board. Below is the portion of dmesg I am referring to. > dmesg | grep memory real memory = 268353536 (262064K bytes) avail memory = 256950272 (250928K bytes) Perhaps I am being a bit paranoid but I'd rather exchange parts now if I have to. I ran a cvsup and make world without any problems. I also ran the dnetc client for a day without problems. While this probably proves nothing, the system does seem to be running great.
