Dear Stephen,
In message 53B47F6F.1090405@wwwdotorg.org you wrote:
Is there a specific reason for not using get_ram_size()?
Since we know the exact RAM size, we may as well simply use it directly rather than "probing" for it.
You _think_ you know the size, but you can never be sure that all this RAM is actually present and working. There has been many discussions before why using get_ram_size() makes a lot of sense even in fixed size RAM configurations.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
