I recently realized that I was miss-understanding how much free memory I had on the system, and I doubt I even need the full 4Gig's. Perhaps I can re-confirm how to check how much free real memory is available on the system. Looking at the top command, add the Inact and Free memory? Mem: 180M Active, 499M Inact, 213M Wired, 76K Cache, 112M Buf, 2999M Free so in this case, 3498 actual free memory? Or is there a more accurate way in determining how much memory is left in the system to be used... basically I'm trying to find the indicator I should be monitoring that should tell me if I need to add more ram to the system then I currently have. Thanks, Stephane. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Long" Newsgroups: mailing.freebsd.current Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 14:09 Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.1-R kernel panic > Stephane Raimbault wrote: > > Hi Thanks for your response, > > > > I do not have PAE enabled...
