This is an odd one. I have a PC coming in tomorrow that shows in my computer properties as having 3.81 GB of RAM. I don't know yet how much it has, but I do know it does not have anywhere near that much RAM. The model PC only recognizes 2 gb max and we simply never even put anything close to that. Usually 512 give or take. It is a rare and special day that we might put a gig in any boxes outside of the servers. So, I'm guessing Motherboard or mem chip issue, but...? Anyone seen this?

Its an hp d220mt, xp pro 32 bit

I'd wait to see the actual system before jumping to any conclusions...
