Dunno about that, but I have what may be a silly question.

My laptop (Compaq Presario CQ60) came with 4G of RAM, but I can only see
3G of it (prolly a limitation of my 32-bit system). Is there any way I
can get at
it from Linux for a RAM disk or something like that? Is it worth doing?

As it happens, 3Gb is ample. As I write, I see I have 1.7G free, and of the 1.3
used much of it is cache and buffers.

Cheers

Jim
