My notebook (Compaq Presario V6000 series) now has 2782MB of available memory, which should interest Hewlett Packard who list the maximum supported memory as 2GB.  Most of the rest (there should be 3GB in total) has been eaten by the integrated GeForce 6150 graphics, which has no memory of its own and seems to have gotten greedy at the sight of all the extra RAM; it's bumped its default allocation up to 256MB.

Even with that, I can run two Linuxes under VMWare with 512MB each and still have more memory left than I did yesterday when VMWare wasn't running.  Not bad for a $55 investment.

1 Hey Pixy, FYI
Triticale.

During Drinking Right last night we got a call from Triticale’s wife.

She told us he is not doing very well. His Doctors only give him a few more days.

We offer our respect, best wishes and prayers. - posted yesterday (12/12) at Real Debate Wisconsin
