All the comments about enabling 4G highmem are correct - the kernel can't address a full gig without it. However, enabling this slightly slows down your memory, and some people choose to keep it off for speed unless they're using the full gig. Another option, better imho, is to use a kernel with the 1g_lowmem patch (originally from -ck patchset) or to patch it in yourself, which enables exactly 1 gig of memory at full speed. The patch for kernel 2.6.12 is available here: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.12/2.6.12-ck3/patches/1g_lowmem1_i386.diff If you need it for a different kernel version, start here: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/ Tom
