I'm running 6.0 -release on an 11,2, and dmesg shows: spdmem0 at mem0: 256MB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL4 spdmem1 at mem0: 256MB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL4 spdmem2 at mem0: 1GB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL4 spdmem3 at mem0: 1GB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-4200CL5 so I was assuming that it was recognising - and making use of - 2.5GB. Is this not so?
