I must be missing something in the translation. I've maxed out motherboard RAM. From what lspci is saying it would seem it is video card memory. Is that right? If so I can't add more memory too it because it is onboard.

oh. so then 'unclaimed' is synonymous with 'unused' in this case.
Not familiar with this word usage but it makes sense. It's unused potential CPU
power because more RAM can make a CPU much more powerful!

Then there's swap area provided by the disk. If you don't have enough RAM,
then your CPU is constantly swapping out RAM to the disk which means that your
"memory" is running at the speed of the disk I/O.

I ran lshw>hardware and it says that I have unclaimed RAM. How do I recover it? Someone covered this before, remember? If you are running Windows with a 32bit OS, then you can only access about 3.5 GB of RAM. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much. If you have a lot of RAM or much more than you are using, then you will have unused RAM of course.
