Patrick,

I followed your instructions and the amount of physical memory available is
almost 393,000 KB. That's 393 MB or RAM. Hmmm... Maybe I'll open up the
CPU and check the chips again.


If you are suggesting that 393MB is not a possible amount of RAM to
have, that's true, but it's not the number you have. To get from KB to
MB, you divided by 1000, but that's the wrong divisor. There are
1024KB in one MB, so 1024 is what you need to divide by. The correct
result is 384MB, and that is a possible amount of RAM to have.
