Jeff Lane, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update
is available for your BIOS (1.25/1.16). If you update to this, does it
change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  [Lenovo E325] Odd variance in memory amounts available to system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Noticed this during certification of Precise on the E325
  (201106-8081).  The memory/info test failed in checkbox due to a large
  variance in the amount of memory installed according to BIOS (via DMI)
  and that available to the OS according to /proc.

  To see this, use the following:

  sudo /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/memory_compare

  Here's the output I noticed:
  ubuntu@201106-8081:~$ sudo /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/memory_compare 
  Meminfo total: 3639368 kB
  DMI total: 4096000 kB
  Accuracy: 88.00
  Memory totals not close enough
