PCLOS not showing ram

[T6]

my previous mainboard with different ram modules in pclinux 2009 did similar weird reports, we talked about this in that time, you also discarded it but as you see it is a error that can happen in multiple machines

That is what it get when i look at hardware detection

As said, drop to Konsole and type mem free - that will tell you how much RAM the system truly sees.  For some reason the Control Center doesn't see things sometimes.

we already know that, this is just another report showing that is not a accidental isolated report as was said in the beginning of the post

I typed in free and it did show my 2.5 gig of ram thanks for the info

Just out of curiosity what does Control Center use to measure ram ; it's obviously not a frontend to something like procps.  So what does it use, and can it be changed to something else?  It does seem to cause a bit of confusion from time to time - especially for those not used to CL tools.

Doing just that (it being a front end to the CL tools) would be following the "Unix Philosophy", and possibly a good idea.  The philosophy is the understanding of not reinventing the wheel every time.  This issue should be respectfully taken up with the writer(s) of the PCC application, maybe?  Since all that info can be found using CL tools more reliably?
