Why does XP only recognize 2.5 GB of RAM for me?

Oh wait a minute, I see it has an integrated gpahics chip, maybe that's why. How do I turn that off?

Edit-nevermind, that was probably a stupid suggestion.

I'm using A-data 2X2GB RAM I bought from newegg, identical RAM running in dual channel mode.

^^ just been reading your mobo makers manual so yeah I just saw that onboard

in "Advance bios settings" in your bios there is a setting for the onboard video card.. Enable if no Peg and Always enable are the only 2 options, Enable if no peg should be selected.

Great, I'll restart and try that now, thanks.
