Hi,

I'm a bit confused, I've unscrew my laptop to check if I can add some
RAM, and on the one I have, it's written, 256Mo,DDR,333,CL2.5. But
dmesg gives me :
Memory: 186036k/195520k available (1632k kernel code, 8856k reserved, 696k data,
 180k init, 0k highmem)
So, 256 gainst 196Mo... Which one should I believe ?
Should I go in the bios, tweaking it ? or add a param to Grub when I boot ?
Last, where is the best place to buy RAM in London ?
thank you,
