Centos 7 not seeing memory upgrade
by Kevin68 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4QSXJ)
Getting into Linux, installed Centos 7 on an old workstation that had Vista on it. System has four memory slots where the system had 2 x 1 gig sticks, and 2 x 512 meg sticks, for a total of 3 gigs (DDR 2).
I took three sticks out and put 3 x 2 gig memory sticks, and left one of the original 1 gig sticks. This should equal 7 gigs.
Centos still sees the system as having 3 gigs.
The thing is, I do not know if the motherboard supports more than 3 gigs of memory.
I was playing around with this until bedtime last night and will get back on it when I get home.
When I get home I will get into the bios and see if the motherboard is seeing the 7 gigs of memory.
Until I get home this evening, the question is:
Will Centos 7 see added memory, or do I need to change something on the OS?
This is an older Gateway FX desktop with a core 2 quad cpu. I do not remember who made the motherboard.
