I upgraded an older system's version of seamonkey today and noticed

can take up to 4G.
I plugged it in and indeed, the bios tells me that 4G is present.
However when I boot, the kernel does not find it all.
In other words, Linux only sees 3112504k.
Other devices consuming some address space (eg graphics)?
I've had 32-bit systems with DSP card plugged in gthat could only see 3G
because each DSP card consumed a part of the address space.
There are no such devices on my system that I know about. I do have a
reasonably high end nvidia video card [GeForce 9800 GTX], but otherwise
it is a vanilla system with nothing other than pretty common peripherals.
When I only had 2G of memory installed, I could see/use it all.
