mutehim,
Check your himem setting in the kernel. Thats only an issue for 32 bit installs.
The default is to use at most 1Gb of RAM.

I have 2 GB of memory on my machine, but in...
| Code: | | /proc/meminfo it is only reporting 905436 kB |
...and in...
| Code: | | phpsysinfo it is only reporting 884.21 MB |
both of which are the same amount. How do I get it to report and use the full 2 GB?
