Just John Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry, I know you probably get this all the time cause I know it happened to me once before but I can't for the life of me remember how to fix it and a quick search didn't turn it up. Desktop I was told has 2GB of RAM, shows up as 864MB or something in the performance monitor. However, MCC->Hardware->Browse and configure hardware->Memory shows 4 modules, DIMMs 1 and 3 at 1024MB, 2 and 4 at 256MB. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it actually has either 1.25 or 2.5GB and I need to enable some hi-ram switch somewhere, right? +1 internet to the first person to tell me how :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerr82508 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 You presumably installed from the demo disk (Mandriva ONE) for an old release. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Errata#...to_880MB_of_RAM Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Up to Mandriva 2009 (not included), the kernel desktop586 couldn't see more than 8xxMB of RAM. You have to install the desktop kernel (not 586). Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
