What's in the fields you left out? Largest refers to the largest single hunk,
and is no indication of total memory. The Maximum field tells you how much
memory you have. If this is less than 3 megs, on your 3 meg machine, please
feel free to ask again, but giving the full output from avail, as well as
stating the model of your machine, and what sort of expansion memory and other
peripherals you have installed.  You will be more likely to get an answer if
you supply more information.
