I installed 1 gb pc2100 RAM (2x512) 1 year ago and it has run fine uo until a couple of weeks ago. System properties is only displaying 768 mb. I have checked in bios and 1 of the sticks of ram is only showing as 256mb, any ideas what is hogging the missing 256mb?
Thanks for any help in advance

Nothing is "hogging" it. Something is broke.
Reseat the RAM, perhaps swap slots.
