Hi,

Just installed Vista on my Nephews laptop and I'm having a problem that while CPU-Z says that he has the full 2GB of RAM installed under system information only 1 GB is showing. I have tried re-seating the RAM, though the fact that CPU-Z identifies it correctly makes me think that the problem is software related. When I try to boot with only 1X 1GB stick installed it tells me that I only have 512MB! I'm trying to find the correct chipset drivers but I'm finding this problem a little odd!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone got any advice?
 
Could it be the graphics card taking it?

What is it reporting in the BIOS?

What about DXDiag (Start > Run > DXDIAG and hit enter)?
