I'll willing to try the BIOS update, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts that this will make no difference. It makes no sense to me that BIOS bugs would have any effect on how the Linux kernel decides when to start swapping.
I can use all of physical memory as long as I'm running multiple processes. If I'm running just one, the kernel decides to start swapping when that one process exceeds half of physical memory, but it WILL use all of physical memory once swap fills up. This is all Linux kernel stuff and has nothing to do with hardware access or processor configuration or mapping of RAM to physical and virtual address spaces. So what I'd like to know is why you think I should take the risk of applying an unnecessary BIOS update for something that should have nothing to do with the BIOS. I'm willing to be educated on this, but I don't get it.
