I ran into the same situation the first time I upgraded a 3000. You see,
the first time I did it, it was the store's demo unit and the unit showed
2M Chip total and 1M Fast. However, when I added memory to a recent
RELEASE 3000 I only got 512K Fast and was confused for a while. Then a
quick call to tech support cleared things up. With the current 3000's the
memory that is used to load KickStart doesn't even show up to the system.
This is why you only see 512K, the other 512 is KickStart. I also noticed
that these 3000's have a little daughter board in the EPROM sockets holding
the boot chips.
