However, this is not the case. This machine has 2 sticks, each of 128MB of RAM for a total of 256MB. However, when the machine is in Windows, all 256MB of RAM is detected and used and everything is working fine. I have since deinstalled FreeBSD from my system and am now currently running Windows, trying to figure all of this out. Any insight would be appreciated, as I want to get back to using FreeBSD as soon as possible.=20 Thank you in advance,=20 Jonathan M. Slivko ~~~~ Jonathan M.
