installed 512 showing 384

[furrymustang]

Running Windows XP Home
1 x 512 mb ram

System originally had 1 x 512 and was running fine untill all of a
sudden windows only detects 384mb of memory, the bios is detecting 512.
Ran mem test, moved the ram to another slot.

any ideas??

512 - 384 = 128 allocated to your onboard video adapter.
