Hi all

this certainly has been answered somewhere and probably is a dumb
question, but since i couldn't find anything on it i thought asking here
might give some answers.

the question is:
is there a limitation in FreeBSD (and Linux) preventing it from
recognizing more than 64 meg of ram. (I don't think so but my DEC
celebris 100 has 128 and FreeBSD keeps telling me that i only have 64).

Any thoughts/asnwers?

cheers

Oliver
