From 256 SD RAM to 196 SD RAm
I have installed 256 SD RAM using all 3 modules in the motherboard(AOPEN MX6B/EZ) using 2 64 MB and 1 128 MB. The 128 Ram i installed it recently which has 16-chips(also the other 2 has 16-chips) was working well showing 256 SD RAM at the start-up also in the XP system properties.....Until yesterday it started to show as 196 SD RAM, It cant be a defalt in the new ram coz it's brand new which worked fine for 2 months, then what is it? Any solution and pls give a kind reason?
BTW It's P III 700 Mhz, MS XP Pro.....
Thanks

Yeah, I'd say that one of your modules is shot. Or maybe someone stole a stick.
If you're using an onboard graphics card, don't forget that the amount of memory assigned to video operation will be deucted from the system RAM causing this kind of symptom to appear.
Also try downloading Belarc advisor from http://www.belarc.com it will rpeort exactly what you have in each slot and what graphics you are using if you are unsure.

No onboard. This board is an older Intel 440ZX chipset for PII/PIII/Celeron and did not include onboard video.
