I'm running 6.0 -release on an 11,2, and dmesg shows:
spdmem0 at mem0: 256MB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL4
spdmem1 at mem0: 256MB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL4
spdmem2 at mem0: 1GB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL4
spdmem3 at mem0: 1GB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL5
so I was assuming that it was recognising - and making use of -
2.5GB. Is this not so?
