Description:
I've noticed that amount of RAM is not showed correctly. You can see the screen here:

I've tried the newer version of MySQL Administrator, but it shows the same.

How to repeat:
I've only opened the server information tab :)

I've also a little advice for the units. When you use the shortcut for kilobyte unit, you could use the proper one (kB), not the (KB).

The shortcut problem seems to be problematic, because the kilo prefix(k) while talking about kilobyte means 1024 not 1000 (like in SI metric system). This can lead to bad interpretation by many people. As the history says there were many proposals to deal with this problem. In 1997 IEC came with the proposal to add the letter "i" to distinguish the prefixes. To sum up, the KB shortcut seems to be correct as well...
