** Description changed:

  Dell optiplex gx620 with 8gb of ram.  Ubuntu 9.04 64bit only recognizes
  3.4gb of the 8gb installed.
  
  dmesg reports  0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of
  memory, losing 4096MB of RAM.
  
  However, my BIOS recognizes and reports all 8gb properly.
+ 
+ Update:  I dont see how to delete this bug, so i'll update it. After
+ running memtest86 and also finally finding the documentation on my
+ chipset, it looks like this is a limitation of my chipset only
+ addressing 4gb.
+ 
+ However, with only 4gb of ram in the system, it still only sees 3.4 and
+ not 4gb.  I'm not sure if that is a bug.  I found some discussion
+ threads suggesting that the missing ram is being taken up by the pci
+ bus.  Not sure though.
