[UCLA-LUG] Linux Ram?

[Ernesto Leon]

HI i had a slight problem. I recently installed Linux mandrake 7.1 the
newest one (AIR) and everything went smoothly (say the least). However
linux only detected 64mgs of ram on my comp. I know i have 128mgs
because windows 98 detects it as that and i bought it for 128mgs (unless
i got ripped off ?). Anyway, i heard that the new kernel is suppose to
support 128mgs without messing around with the lilo.conf file. However i
dont know whats going on? I added the folowing line to the lilo.conf
just to make sure that maybe i got a *dud* kernel.

Is this line right?

append="ram=128M"

if so where in the lilo.conf do i add it? Anyhow after adding that to
lilo i stil get the 64 mgs of ram being displayed in addition my linux
box slows down! tremendously when i install files or even when i run
konsoles! is this the ram? Im confused help please..what do i do?

By the way im running KDE
