Default Device Manager vs System Information: Physical Memory installed conflict.


Why would Device Manager and System Information (winmsd) show conflicting
Total Physical Memory installed information?

I have 2 256 MB DIMMs for a total of 512 MB. Device Manager shows 512 MB.
System Information shows only 384MB of Total Physical Memory. The POST
memory check seems to check all 512MB ok. I notice that 384 is 126 MB less
than 512 MB, or half of one DIMM.

This is with Windows XP Professional.

Thanks for any help.
