This isn't a software question so much as it is a hardware question.
I have an older Acer Aspire R1600. It came stock with 1MB of ram. I'm
running Debian Whezey on it.
Today I install 2 2GB dimms for a total of 4GB. However, when I do a top or
a memfree, it shows only 3GB.
total used free shared buffers cached

DMI Decode shows this:
Handle 0x0010, DMI type 17, 27 bytes
Array Handle: 0x000E

Handle 0x0012, DMI type 17, 27 bytes

Any thoughts as to why it only shows 3GB?
