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 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

Are there any options in the server to map memory differently? Does the bios see the memory when the system boots?

with 7G of ram, I'd install x86_64

Right ... either the PAE i686 kernel or x86_64 is required.
If no (or very few) i[3.6]86 packages are needed, then I would also recommend x86_64. If you have specific needs for the i386 arch then PAE.
