-   Hi,

I recently installed Mandrake 9.2 on a system with 128MB of RAM. However, free() reports only 96MB of RAM:

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 93708 75304 18404 0 1808 25952
-/ buffers/cache: 47544 46164
Swap: 506008 26704 479304


I have just finished doing all the Mandrake Updates but nothing changed.
Can anyone tell me what might be going on here?

Thank you,

Theo Bell

-   Do you have an onboard video card? If you do, it is reserving 32Meg for the
video card.

-   Yes I do have an onboard video card. Thanks for the info. Serves me right for buying such a cheap system I guess.

Thanks.
