Hello,
I have 2 questions...
1)Where is Highmem support in the kernel? I looked under "Processor type and features" but couldn't find it there. I am using vanilla-sources 2.6.31.6?
2)My system is only detecting 3.2 GB when I have 4 GB. Anyone know why?
My mobo is Asrock p55 deluxe. My CPU is Core i5.

Thanks for the link but...
1) I still can't find the highmem option in my kernel.
2) I am running an amd64 system but it still says 3.2 GB instead of 4 Gb. There is no option in the BIOS to fix this. |

Are you sure you are using 64-bit kernel? 64-bit architectures use flat memory address model and 64 bits are sufficient for any amount of RAM being used now (Yes, I know, some CPU's use 40-48 bit actually, but this doesn't matter). Please post your uname -a.
If you're on 64-bit kernel, make sure none embedded hardware (e.g. videocard) use this 0.8 GB.
