Title: RAM detection
Post by: john_cic on Monday 02 November 2009, 11:52:54 am
Hi,

I have two IBM x3550 M2 server's with 6GB of RAM, one running Endian Firewall 2.2 and then other running 2.3.
The server with version 2.2 installed shows 3GB of RAM being used (via the web interface), but the server running 2.3 only shows 2GB.  I understand these releases of Endian Firewall are only 32-bit OS's, but I am confused as to why the latest version doesn't use the maximum for 32-bit?  Is there something that needs to be configured to make it use more available RAM?

My easiest solution would be to install a 64-bit version... Is there one in existence?

Regards,
John

I don't believe there is a 64-bit version. I am running Endian on a Core2Duo 2Ghz with 4GB of memory and on the WI, I see 3024MB of memory. You might need to perhaps change a setting in your BIOS.

I'll have a look at the RAM settings in the BIOS again during the week... BIOS definately detects 6GB of RAM though.

My 2.3 install detects 3GB out of 4GB. It is strange it only detects 2GB on your machine.
