But I never used to change these items.=20 Unfortunately, my TYAN board reference guide isn't telling me what to chang= e=20 there for good - so - can you tell me where to find more information about= =20 there? If I remember correctly, it provided me the options ("Automatic"/"Manual") = and=20 a value list with the following items: =A0 64MB 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB 2048MB, 3G, 3.5G. and another list I can't remember by now. but *playing* around with these values didn't help much (I just reduced my= =20 memory in linux down to 2GB once but didn't find the right values for getti= ng=20 4GB). So, what should I do then?
