these are ibm x336,

they think they should get more users per server.  so do i.

i am suspicious of the app setup on one of the apps.  and they have a lot of symantec junk installed.  plus all the tricerat stuff.  simplify profiles, printing, reliability etc.

Because the system is sucking up a bunch of it before the OS starts  (PCI-X, video, etc)…  You can get some of it back by using the /PAE switch (yes, even on standard) to map that memory back.

why would a server have 4096mb of ram installed but only report 3455mb installed?  i am looking over some servers for a friend of mine and this seems odd.
