I have 1 stick of pc2100 DDR 512mb. As the computer boots up and does the memory check it reads correctly but for some reason when I enter WinXP Pro and go into MSINFO32 my total physical memory reads: 256.00 MB. I'm not sure what this means although I also went into my system properties and it read 512MB of Ram.
This is really confusion and frustrating...could someone please help, thanks for your time guys.
