Hi experts!
Where are the missing 700MB ??? (4GB installed) 700 MB is too much, that can't be only because of version-differences!
I compared (unmodified) stable/testing kernels with Xen and OpenVZ-kernel: all out of main debian packages:
Only3200: ---------- *Linux host 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Mon Dec 24 16:41:07 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux *Linux knoppix 2.6.24.4 #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 25 21:35:28 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux *Linux host 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 04:57:38 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
Full4GB: --------- *Linux host 2.6.26-2-openvz-686 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 07:07:25 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
I'm using: Dell Optiplex 755 Board Product name (DMI): 0GM819 2x2GB (4064MB) installed
Here the output of free:

I attached the output of dmesg and proc/meminfo of the normal kernel (only 3200M) and openVZ-kernel (gives full 4GBs) XenDom0 gives 3900, which is ok.
i*)Question2: Do I have better performance, if installed to DIMM1+3 (next to each other) => Bios says: asynchronous, or DIMM1+2 (3 inbetween them left out) => Bios says: synchronous ?
Please be so kind and also send your answer to andreas2 (AT) logic.univie.ac.at (I didn't subscribe to the group)
thanks! Andrew
