Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Question:

After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does the BIOS only

detect about 3.145 GB of memory during POST?

Answer:

Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-E

memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located
around the 4GB memory address.

Question: Why does Microsoft Windows XP (SP2) and Windows Vista show
less memory than what is physically installed?

Answer:

Microsoft implemented a design change in Windows XP with Service

Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specific to the Physical Ad

dress Extension (PAE) mode behavior which improves driver compatibility. For
more information, please read the following article at Microsoft’s Knowledge
Base website at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888137.
