[nycbug-talk] memory and cpu question on a new setip

[Jonathan Vanasco]

( sorry for being clueless this week.  new server arrived. )

1) Memory
	I just tossed in 2gb of ram into a server , for a total of 4

	Bios sees it all
	The kernel gives me this message on boot (does not go in /var/log/ 
messages):
		720896K of memory above 4GB ignored
	and this message on boot (does go into /var/log/messages )
		Mar 29 16:19:36 crookedrain kernel: real memory  = 3479298048 (3318  
MB)
		Mar 29 16:19:36 crookedrain kernel: avail memory = 3404574720 (3246  
MB)

	top shows around 3200 on the system as well.

	Where could my memory have gone?
	All the research i've done says that I should be find for memory  
under 4gb, and that I'd only need to use pae if i'm using 4+gb

2) CPU
	i'm running a xeon 3040 'dual core'
	i'm just using the standard kernel.
	i get this in dmesg
		FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
		cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID:  0
		cpu1 (AP): APIC ID:  1

	i tried using the SMP kernel on a whim, but it wouldn't boot.  can  
someone confirm that should be the case?
	it makes sense to me that the SMP shouldn't work- i treated this as  
a single cpu from the outset ,  considering 2 cores to still be a  
single cpu.
	but the dmesg makes me second guess that.

any suggestions would be appreciated
