Hi Dianne. Thanks for your reply. I really meant RAM in my previous
post. Anyways, here's the deal: I need to find out the real amount of
RAM installed on the device (for instance, G2 specification says it
has 192 Mb RAM available, however, proc/meminfo claims that there's
only 90Mb of total memory on the G2). I do understand that the rest
100Mb are swallowed for other devices needs, but still I believe there
is a way to find out how much physical memory device has (even though
it's not accessible). Can you at lets give me a clue how can I
determine the real amount memory for device?
