Fair enough. Thanks. Although, I'd consider a loss of 1% of my RAM
pretty minor if all other things were equal. FWIW, I had to compile the
kernel to support 64GB of ram to get the almost 4GB. If I compiled the
kernel with 4GB support, I only got 3GB. Debian users watch out... the
stock debian kernel (at least in 3.1) is only compiled for 1GB RAM and
you only get about 900MB to use.
