I too use x86 for the odd non-repo software, however I have a machine with 4Gb of Ram and 3.5Gb shown in bios yet only around 3 Gb usable. I have tried multiple OS and never have the full RAM available. I have put it down to a rather crap BIOS as non of the BIOS options make any difference. p.s. The main case that eats the ram is usually virtualbox. In that case adding sysctl vm.swappiness=0 to rc.local makes a big difference. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
