4 Gig in new Prec 490 showing as 3 Gig?



It could be a hardware issue too. I read (somewhere, but forget where)
that some of the new motherboards that support Intel's Dual-core
processors will only see the first 3GB of memory.  What motherboard do
you have?

Perhaps the RBLing (Realtime Black Hole) of msn.com recently, which
prevented a large amount of mail going out for about 4 days, has had a
positive influence in Redmond.  They did agree to work on their anti-relay
capabilities at their POPs to get the RBL lifted.
