ram question

Sometimes, if you change the order of the chips, it will all be there.

Hi all.

I just installed a 256M ram chip in my server. This gives me 256M of
ram in bank1, 128M in bank2, and 128M ram in bank 3, which should
compute to a total of 512M of ram.

However, in my dmesg output, I get:

383MB LOWMEM available.

The board can support a total of 768M of ram, so the system should be
seeing the full 512M of ram, but it doesn't look like this is the
case. This is a 100MHz FSB board. The chips are all sdram, and are
pc133, pc100, and pc100 respectively. 

Does anybody see what I'm missing? Should I maybe enable the high
memory option in the kernel? The kernel is 2.4.25. Please let me know
if I should provide more info. Thanks in advance as always.

Greg
