Computer does not see all of the memory - Another weird thing

I just noticed today that my computer slower than usual. I didn't think nothing of it. I was to busy with stuff to worry about it. But I was going to device manager and looked at the Performanc tab and noticed it only said 256MB of ram. That I am sure was the speed problem. I have a 3000+ Athlon 64 and Chaintech NF3-250 VE motherboard. I flashed it to the latest beta bios a few days ago. I thought that may be it but I flashed back to the latest released version and still shows 256MB of memory when I have 2 - 512MB sticks of Kingston PC4000 memory. When I disable the Quick Post. It counts the memory and when it gets to about 256MB is restarts at zero and counts up to 256MB again and restarts at zero. It does that like 3 times or so. Then it will stop at around 256MB and continue to boot.

Is this the cpu or motherboard problem? When I first got it the cpu did have a bent pin. I straightened it out and seems to have been fine.

Since the memory controller is on the cpu is it a problem with the cpu or is it a problem with the motherboard? BTW, I did test the memory in a socket a mobo and it was read and picked up properly. I do not have another Socket 754 board to test if it is the motherboard problem or not. Thanks for any help.

have you (whats that called) CLEARED the bios yet? That may be a problem so set it to default.
