Realistically, the only question that anyone cares about is this:
OpenBSD 4.9-beta (GENERIC.MP) #793: Tue Feb 1 18:45:20 MST 2011
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP
real mem = 3486384128 (3324MB)
avail mem = 3379560448 (3223MB)
Just like SMP, what people DO with the RAM (or processors) is
irrelevant, it's what shows up in the dmesg that matters!
(oops. Need to upgrade that machine! Hm. I thought this machine only
had 2G in it...)
(the memory lesson is appreciated, at least here, though)
