i recently bought 2x1gb ddr2800 ram and am running vista home premium... its
only giving me 896mb physical memory. i take a stick out and still runs at
896mb... my bios says it has 2048mb total.. is there an explanation for why i
can only get 896mb physical..
 
You should run an utility like CPU-Z. It is free and you can find it by
doing a search on the internet.
It will give information about each stick of memory in your system.
 
Something you might try is going to Start > type MSCONFIG and press enter >
go to BOOT > Then Advanced Options > Make sure that Maximum Memory isn't
checked. If it is, uncheck it and reboot.
