Windows system shows wrong amount of RAM?

5,915

Go into the BIOS and save the changes - only then will Windows report the correct amount of RAM.

    I just got an ASUS Eee PC 1005HA and immediately upgraded it to 2 GB of RAM. However, when I open up the Windows System Dialog, it says there is only .99 GB of RAM. CPU-Z sees the whole 2 GB though. What's going on here?

    The BIOS also reports the correct amount of memory in the system.

    you don't have to patch the BIOS! the problem is well known with all Eee PC: when you upgrade the system memory, you must go into the BIOS and save the changes, regardless the BIOS version.

    Makes me wonder how one can design such a system where this is necessary
