I have a argument with another user about memory. He claims that on

32 bit and that 64 bit would give all the memory.
Plenty of chipsets don't support mapping the RAM covered by the PCI
window up to the end of memory, especially older ones.
Just a remark: On my fedora 11 system (phenom II, 4GB RAM,
32 bit, PAE) top reports 3.9GB RAM. On my opinion, this is
thanks to PAE.

On my F11 install running the PAE kernel, I get 4045988k as the total in
top. Some machines have difficulty using all available ram for many
reasons. I also noticed that an x86_64 kernel on the same machine gave
me the 3.9gb as reported.
