Full Version: Did I get screwed on RAM?
The Planet Forums > System Administration > Server Hardware > RaQ Support

In Server Management -> System Status -> Memory Status, my server shows the following -

The memory is being lightly used.

Total memory on the system is 259316 KB
Free available memory is 149016 KB
Used memory is 110300 KB which is 42 percent of the total memory

Still, 42% is a bit higher than I would like. Anyhow, by accident I clicked the Cobalt logo in the upper left... and I saw this:

RAM 128 MB

Does this mean that my server only has 128MB of ram? (i.e. the numbers in the Memory Status include swap?) When I ordered the server, it stated that it had 256MB of ram. Did I get screwed here?

As it says here:
Total memory on the system is 259316 KB

It never shows the full 256B and yes you do have 256MB (256000 KB) of memory installed.

Actually, I don't... I talked with RS Daniel, and he told me to do a cat /proc/meminfo, and it showed the following -

root admin]# cat /proc/meminfo
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 130850816 112865280 17985536 89255936 6393856 29712384
Swap: 134688768 2650112 132038656
MemTotal: 127784 kB
MemFree: 17564 kB
MemShared: 87164 kB
Buffers: 6244 kB
Cached: 29016 kB
SwapTotal: 131532 kB
SwapFree: 128944 kB

MemTotal being 128M - it shows the same thing on the RaQ badge. RS-Daniel told me to submit a trouble ticket, which I did. I have 128M instead of 256M... thanks anyways though, but it should be getting fixed now.

interesting to see people says 256MB = 256000 KB
the truth is 1MB = 1024KB
then 256 MB = 262144 KB
