    Memory problem in installation

    Strange problem. Have installed Red Hat 7.0 on older, slower computer and like it very much. So I wanted to use it on a faster machine.

    Have installed on newer faster, Gateway. Runs excruciatingly slow, takes 30 minutes to load. Finally let it load and did system info. It thinks computer has just of 14 megs of ram.

    Computer actually has 256mb and Win 2000 runs great on it, "sees" all the memory.
    BIOS also sees 256 mb as it boots. It's just in Linux that it can't
    find its full memory. And why 14MB?

    Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    As i always say RedHat 8 or 9 are really old and shouldn't be used. For a desktop OS Fedora may be more suitable and a lot more update
