With any system of the last decade, you will lose the 384KB upper memory. With a full 4GB of RAM you also lose 1/2MB for the system BIOS and any memory mapped PCI resources. I don't think you have a 256MB video card, so the missing RAM is probably something to do with AGP. Anyone know? <nmagnino@aermacchi.it> wrote in message news:3EBE9A7A.2503FEAE@aermacchi.it... | Hi all, | After upgrading two IBM Intellistations one NT4 ZPRO 6866-64G and one | WIN2000 MPRO 6850-55G from original 2GB of RAM up to 4GB each the | motherboard BIOS (flashed with the most recent for both machines) and of | course also the OS reports only 3776 MB of memory. Of course all the | memory banks used are official IBM parts approved for these machines, | and of course for IBM everything "should" be OK. | So is there anybody that had faced this problem and solved that could | give me helpful hints. |
