anybody have the biostar M7SUA(M7VKQ Pro) mb? i built this for a gent who is only going to use it to surf the web and listen to music, one small quirk is that it is only showing 192mb of the pc2100 ram that is in it, it is a 256 stick of spectec pc2100, it is currently running an athlon 950 tbird processor. i went to biostars website toi download the latest bios, but it saves as a BS file rather than a BIN file....whats up with that? thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide, btw it is running the sis 740 chipset...

Hehe, you probably have 64MB of main RAM dedicated to onboard graphics.
