Ah. You're not running the PAE kernel.
Reboot the box, and bring up the grub menu. Choose the PAE kernel.
Then you'll see what you're supposed to and can uninstall the other kernel(s)

Uname -r = 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5
I installed webmin and from there I see that the total memory is 2.96 GB and when I run top it shows Mem: 3107572k total.

When you do a 'uname -r' what is the result?
Also, what are you looking at to determine available RAM?

I am sure this has been covered before, but I can find it in my archives.
I loaded up a new server IBM x3650, 2x Intel dual core cpu's I installed additional RAM to take it up to 7 gigs according to http://www.centos.org/product.html#seven http://www.centos.org/product.html#seven CentOS 5 x86 which I am using supports up to 16gigs of RAM. Once I boot up CentOS only see's about 3.2Gigs of Ram.
I installed the kernel-PAE package and upgraded my kernel to 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.
Searching on the web the suggestions are that I done the above, as I have done to sort out my problem buy nothing seems to work.
Any help would be much appreciated
