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.

Thank you,
Nick.

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?
