Not sure if this helps, but there are actually two different measures used for computer storage sizes. The first is the technical one, which is abbreviated as kB, mB, and gB, where 1 mB = 1024 kB.

The second is actually what marketing uses, and what most components advertise their "space" as, where they round everything down from 1024 to 1000, and those are abbreviated KB, MB, and GB. This is why a 1.5TB hard drive shows up on your computer as 1.44 tB. Ram vendors sometimes do the same thing.

Looks like you have 4 gigs of ram with a video card that uses some of the system ram as it's video ram.

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!!
