[comp.os.minix] Variable memory space

Hi,

Does anyone know why this happens?  I seem to get a 
different memory size each time I boot Minix.  I am
using V1.5.10 on a PC-AT.  My total memory size varies
from 639K up to 649K.  Of course, I'd like to keep
it at 649K, since I only have 640K (no extended mem)
installed :-)).

Is there a reason for this, or is the process that
computes total memory lying to me?

Thanks,
