Basically, but IMO, easier to understand words...

hi, UEFI shows 131072MB which is 128GB (131072 / 1024)

Also, the dmesg output: 

Quote

Memory: 131681356K/134165956K

means 125.57GB / 127.95GB (131679596/(1024**2), 134165956/(1024**2)) 

 

so it shouldn't be caused by conversions.

Ok, so I guess it's Ubuntu thing and nothing wrong in my BIOS/UEFI or wqith the memory banks.

 

thanks

That GiB, not GB. GB is 1000MB, GiB is 1024 MiB. 🙃
 

Not that I matters. OSes typically use GiB, marketing companies use GB. That’s why I had mentioned conversion factors, I had wondered if that was why.

I said in one sentence what he said in a paragraph but to each their own.
