12M only showing as 10M?

I just put a 4Mb stick into a 486 that had 8M previously, and now
has 12M total, however meminfo shows that the total memory is
now: 10649600, but that 12050432 is shared. What could cause
this to happen, and why is 12M not showing up? Could it be
something in the machine's BIOS?

[root@gw /root]# cat /proc/meminfo
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 10649600 10321920 327680 12050432 372736 4493312
Swap: 16904192 20480 16883712
