I just upgraded motherboard/cpu with new RAM, but XP only recognizes 224 of the installed single chip 256 RAM....what gives?
 
Your motherboard probably has an onboard video card that
uses "shared" RAM, which uses system RAM for the video
card, instead of the video card having its own dedicated
memory bus (much cheaper, but slower). It's probably
using 32 MB, 256 -32 = 224.
