RAM Problem :

["hari " <hari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Sir 


               Iam a novice linux user from India studying
3rd year Comp Science Engg.My friends have a problem under
linux regarding RAM.

There are some motherboards in which the DIMM's or RAM's may
not accurately take the RAM value.For example I have seen
many systems in which 64MB RAM 's are placed but OS's do not
show proper value.

In some  of my friend's case if RAM value is 64MB it is
shown by windows as 63MB and performance is in par for 63MB
but linux shows  only 13MB and performance of the machine is
only upto 13MB.

I Also tried to pass parameters like during installation and
after installation and after installation as follows

linux mem=64M expert
or
linux mem=64M

But no use.
I request you to help me out to solve this problem .
