Gateway ALR 9200 Memory Configuration, Table 3: Sample DIMM Component Combinations

Memory Configuration

BIOS automatically detects, sizes, and initializes the memory array, depending on the type, size, and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory size and allocation to the system via configuration registers.

In a 4 GB configuration, a small part of memory (typically 32 MB) is not remapped above 4 GB. If your OS does not support more than 4 GB of physical memory, this small part of the memory is effectively lost.
