i have a problem with my smbios, dont know how to solve it my self, hopefully some one here will know how to tackle this, i have windows xp home have 512 mb memory installed windows recognizes 512, sometimes 256 depending on what program i run to tell me how much memory is installed, but the smbios always only recognizes 256, does this make any sense? here is part of the smbios report, if needed i will post the rest, thanks in advance for any help any one has.
