My stepdad has got a laptop with 256mb of ram (one stick) but windows Xp is saying it only has 192mb... does anybody have any idea why?

The manual says it uses DD2 400 or 533MHz, so I'm assuming thats whats in it.

I want to put 1gb in it but am curious as to whether this is a problem that will effect other memory i put in.
 
It does sound like you just have 64M of RAM used for graphics. Check in the BIOS as that's usually where you check/change it.
