MemTotal: Total usable ram (i.e. physical ram minus a few reserved
              bits and the kernel binary code)

Hi,

I'm looking at a server and ran  cat /proc/meminfo  and got:

MemTotal:        3781692 kB

I was expecting 2GB or 4GB.

According to https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-proc-meminfo.html MemTotal is total RAM.  In their example they show:

MemTotal:       255908 kB

and say that is 256MB of RAM.

256MB = 262144KB.  Am I wrong?

What am I missing?

Thanks!!
