I know this has been discussed but I still am wondering why my system w/32
meg has a smaller free report than may old 486 w/20 meg.
Here is what my 32meg system's free reports;
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 13444 13092 352 6296 304 4664
-/+ buffers/cache: 8124 5320
Swap: 49132 13280 35852
My old 486's free says;
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 18620 17836 784 8356 1628 9352
-/+ buffers/cache: 6856 11764
Swap: 14104 1584 12520
To check my memory I ran the memtest program that is on tomsrootboot and
it passed on the 32meg system (6+passes) with following info;
Memtest-86 V1.3
18k - 640k Max Mem
1024k - 15360k 4194303k
16384k- 32768k
My old box memtest says;
18k - 640k
1024k - 20736k
When I boot up the 32meg system the bios boot up runs up to 32k without
probs.
Now for my big question, where is my memory dissapearing on my 32meg
system. It looks like my old 20meg has more memory than the newer one.
Both running RedHat V6.1.
