[Tfug] GNOME System Monitor not reporting all available memory

[Sean Warburton]

If nothing else, skim through your BIOS settings. There may be some odd
setting that affects your OS's ability to recognize the other gig. XP was
notorious for only seeing 2 gigs when people bought 4. The solution for that
was an XP hotfix and a BIOS flash update. So maybe you can update your
kernel, like Robert Hunter was alluding to. What motherboard do you have?
