OK, that leaves me more confused, and (to me) it still looks like a BIOS problem rather than a greedy device. Here is the /proc/iomem with some decimal annotations: (as noted, there is 4x1GB of memory installed)

This still isnt making much sense to me, so if somone can explain why I can only see a little over 2/3 of the installed memory, I would appreciate it.
