Ive got a gig of ram, it all shows up at boot post.
Windows partition sees it, but for some reason I can only see 883 Mb in linux.

Anyone have any idea why I seem to have lost 150 megs of ram?

Code:

bash-2.05b# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        904000     218256     685744          0      11236     110800
-/+ buffers/cache:      96220     807780
Swap:      1959888

That should do the trick.

Thanks for the reply.

Haven't used matlab in a little while but I'd never forget that face.
