I just built a new server with an Athlon 64 x2, 4GB Ram and a Gigabyte/Nvidia motherboard. When I boot the system up it says on the console that 532888K will be ignored. Of course it isn't put in any of the log files. Dmesg shows this: real memory = 3724476416 (3551 MB) avail memory = 3649908736 (3480 MB) Any reason the extra 1/2 GB isn't showing up or usable? Is there something I need to specify in the kernel to get to the other 1/2 GB? What if I want to install more than 4GB? This mobo supports up to 16 GB... Do I need to go to the AMD64 platform to get >4GB? I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 i386 SMP kernel.
