Guest ellas Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 looks like a prob though There is a large discrepancy between the memory reported by the BIOS versus Windows. Often, this indicates a System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) problem and you may be able to fix it with a BIOS upgrade available from the vendor. SMBIOS results can be incorrect even if the power-on self test (POST) detects all of your installed RAM. For more insight into what your SMBIOS reports and why it can be wrong, download and run our SMBIOS reporting tools. ftp://ftp.pcpitstop.com/pcpbios.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvw Posted December 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 256x16=4096Something must be multiplying 256 or 512 incorrectly to give a figure of 4096.Beats me :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
