Given the PCI address area being unusable and the onboard video taking it's chunk of memory out, I'd say the numbers are right in the ballpark.

Greetings,
Only 2 tweeks were ever done to this OS, Under "Performance Options" I changed "Visual Effects" to "Adjust for Best Performance", and also I added paging files to drive "C" and "D" setting them on "System Managed Size".
My problem is memory related... I've been running this PC on 1 gig [2-512Mb] of dual 266MHz DDR PC2100 DIM CL2.5 of RAM. Recently I started doing a lot of graphics work on large 46mb files and kept running out of memory. I use 3 different software programs and it happens to every one, it is not a 3rd party issue.
I removed the 2-512 Mb boards and replaced with 4 matched, tested, 1 gig boards increasing my PC to 4 gigs. But it seems WinXP w/Service Pack 2 is having a problem seeing and allocating the 4 gigs because I run out of memory just as fast. I've even left "Systems > Performance" running and noticed that when the window pops-up up saying ''insufficient memory'', there is still plenty of gigs of memory available.
BELOW: CMOS shows the 4+gigs, "Systems" only shows 3.37 gigs, "Task Manager" only shows 3.53 gigs, While "System Information" shows 4.09gigs with only 2.87gig available. I also included a copy of my "boot.ini" folder since it's talked about a lot with WinXP and memory.
Could someone please help with this problem?
