I just bought a new computer here are the specs first:
==========
ECS Mainboard KT266a(ver: 2.0 VIA chipset AMD XP ready)
2 sticks of 256 mbs of DDR PC2100. (Micron and Samsung)
Maxtor 60gb 7200 RPM 8.7 seek time
G-Force 2 Pro 64mb (not overclocked)
AMD Athlon XP +1700 (not overclocked)
Sound Blaster Live Platnium
==========
Okay, as I boot up my RAM reads out as 512 with some other numbers (as normal). When I enter Windows XP Pro I run MSINFO32 and it says that my Total Physical Memory is only 384.0 and that my Available Physical Memory is 389.63 MB. Now here is what gets me. When I go into my Device Manager it says I have 512 MB of Ram installed. I'm getting random freezes as well. I tried both Win ME and Win XP. Running XP right now and when I go into EverQuest SoL I will freeze =(. I have downloaded every update there is for my hardware, including the new VIA Chipset drivers. So this memory reading problem is the last resort. Not sure if I'm right on this.
Is this a bug in MSINFO32? Or am I doing something wrong here?
Please help if yah can...I've been struggling =(. Thanks for your time.
