MEMORY NOT SHOWING CORRECTLY ON BOOT

[imported_griffis]

Whenver i start up my computer the amount of ram that shows is 8.0 MB?! But, inside windows and via the BIOS it shows the correct 512 MB of ram i have. Anyone have any ideas on what might cause this. I figured there was a problem under the BOOT.INI field under maxram but that field was empty. So that seemed correct. Everything seems to work ok but whenever i start up it shows this odd 8.0 MB ram on start-up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It is probably the amount of ram on your video card.

So, this does not pse any real problem then?

Nope, you're fine. Some video cards like my old v770 ultra would post it's firmware/bios at the very beginning. If this is your case as well, you're fine and also windows properly acknowledges the correct amount.
