Why does CrunchBang Linux (stable) only show that I have 497m of RAM when I have 512m?

Q. I have 512m of RAM on my laptop...I checked the BIOS, and it shows that I do...But my OS, which is CrunchBang, only shows that I have 497m. Is this a bug? Does this mean that the rest of the RAM isn't available to me?

How do I fix this?
Sorry...I thought m was sufficient for mb. So, since I activated my graphics card drivers and my graphics card is up and running, shouldn't that mean that that RAM should go back to my system?

A. Some of your RAM is dedicated to the video/graphics chip most likely.

Linux Sound Question? Crunchbang and Mint?
Q. I have a Dell XPS M1210. I dualboot XP and Linux Mint 6. Also, I have recently run a live CD for crunchbang. In XP and Crunchbang sound works well, and sounds great. In Mint, I get sound, but the sound is crackly. I know it isn't the hardware, because it sounds great on 2 other OSes. Any Ideas?

A. Here is the Official Sound and Sound Troubleshooting Documentation

This Documentation also applies to Linux Mint
