I have an 8GB system with Ubuntu 9.10. And a puzzle.
Ok, 8GB is:
8 589 934 592 bytes
or
8 388 608 kilobytes
(Got these numbers from google). Now, cat /proc/meminfo:
MemTotal: 8192556 kB
MemFree: 6278812 kB
Buffers: 38832 kB
Cached: 849552 kB
System monitor rounds it down to 7.8 GB
These are not rounding errors, please. So between 200-400 MB is gone somewhere (and my video is 1GB nvidia).
Any ideas? BIOS is giving me the right info, i.e. full 8GB.
