Looks fine. Looks like you see nearly all of the 4GB of ram (3982104). You probably have a lot of memory reserved in BIOS shadows or other hardware (like video card). This looks perfectly normal. If you have an onboard video card, a chunk of your memory is probably being used for that. In the BIOS

2007-11-16 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger
Greets, following that Core2Duo-thread from a few days ago I now set up a new installation of my current 32bit-x86-setup on a second 64bit machine. I started a fresh install with the amd64 cd, used CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" and emerged everything fresh from the world file on the 32bit machine.
