I upgraded the Dell BIOS to version A11 which is supposed to allow all 8G of installed memory to be seen and used by the OS. I'm running -13.37/x86_64 on the laptop with the 2.6.37smp kernel. Is there anything distribution- or version-related that may be keeping /proc/meminfo from reporting only 4G of memory installed? Rich
