Memory Question
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Just for kicks I surfed to http://www.goodbye-windows.com and downloaded
the Debian installer for Windows. I already had Etch on this computer,
but went ahead and ran the installer just to see what it would do.
When I had installed Etch the first time, I chose to install the 32-bit
version because I've had problems in the past not being able to obtain
64-bit versions of some packages.
Well, the Debian installer ran fine, and I used some empty space that I
had reserved to install it. To my surprise it installed Etch 64-bit.
So now I have both 32 bit and 64 bit.
Here's my question. Why do the two different versions report different
a different amount of memory? The 32 bit version says I have a total of
886MB, where the 64-bit version says there is 1024MB.
I have 1024MB, so I am at a loss why this shows:
joe@MyBox:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 906792 797600 109192 0 37208 603928
- -/+ buffers/cache: 156464 750328
Swap: 1542168 0 1542168
Anyone have a clue? It's not a real big deal because there's plenty of
free RAM, but it does pique my curiosity.
