Maby its just reading it wrong. Or there might be something wrong with the ram. Use memtest 86 to see if your ram is good.

Maybe you could try moving the memory stick to a different slot.

Yeah, it's probably 'shared' memory for the graphics card.
Good on you, peat moss.
Welcome to the discussion board.

It reads it one MB short because that first 640K is convential memory, and the 640-1028 is extended. (either expanded or exteneded, I always get those mixed up in my Computer Engeineering Tech class.)
Thats why its not reading that first MB though.
