I've never heard of RAM vendors using Mebibytes instead of Megabytes.
It doesn't really make any sense. Vendors use Mebibytes to make they
storage sound like it's just a little bit bigger than the competition
and ram sizes are still small enough that it would sound weird if
someone were to advertise a laptop with weird decimal sizes on the ram.

Not sure if this helps, but there are actually two different measures
used for computer storage sizes. The first is the technical one, which
is abbreviated as kB, mB, and gB, where 1 mB = 1024 kB.
The second is actually what marketing uses, and what most components
advertise their "space" as, where they round everything down from 1024
to 1000, and those are abbreviated KB, MB, and GB. This is why a 1.5TB
hard drive shows up on your computer as 1.44 tB. Ram vendors sometimes
do the same thing.

Looks like you have 4 gigs of ram with a video card that uses some
of the system ram as it's video ram.

Hi,
I'm looking at a server and ran cat /proc/meminfo and got:
MemTotal: 3781692 kB
I was expecting 2GB or 4GB.
According to
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/__html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-__proc-meminfo.html
<https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-proc-meminfo.html>
MemTotal is total RAM. In their example they show:
MemTotal: 255908 kB
and say that is 256MB of RAM.
256MB = 262144KB. Am I wrong?
What am I missing?
Thanks!!
