Hot diggety, that did it!! 4GB RAM available now. You guys are just golden,
thx a bunch!

What is that "install mode" for anyway?? As I said earlier, this is my first
Dell-server ever and as it's a refurbished machine, I didn't get any manuals
and stuff... Probably will need to visit support.dell.com in a near future.

You guys think I will now be able to run that bios update as well? Figuring it
might have been a deficient RAM-issue, with 4GB RAM it might work now...?
