EFI shell shows more memory than the Manifest command

Why does EFI shell show more memory than using the manifest command in HP UX ?
This is from the EFI show system info:
Product Name: server rx3600
Active Memory : 49152 MB
Installed Memory : 49152 MB

This is from manifest:
System Hardware
Model: ia64 hp server rx3600
Main Memory: 49120 MB

well i got this.
49152/1024=48
49120/1024=47.96875

EFI would show sum up of all the modules.
And I suppose(not sure) menifest is taking 32MB which is not becing calculated.

Thats smthing I never noticed :)

extensible firmware interface (EFI) The IntelÂ® developed firmware environment on Itanium-based systems that acts as an interface between operating systems and platform firmware. The interface consists of platform related information, as well as boot and runtime service calls. The PA-RISC equivalent is the boot console handler (BCH).

print_manifest An Ignite-UX command that displays a manifest of the system it is run on. It can either display the original manifest, or gather information about the current system when it runs. See print_manifest(1M).

Dear,

EFI shell shows the installed physical memory size,but manifest (OS command) memory by some some MB less,

you can check with cstm , it will show the actuall memory installed.

pls check.
