194MB lost on a Windows ML370 G3
We have an ML370 G3 runing windows 2003 standard server SP1 with 2GB of RAM. Obviously windows says that the RAM available was 2GB. Now we added 2 gigs more (2 PC2100 modules of 1GB each) but now Windows show that there is only 3.81GB of RAM available. I ran a memory tester and no problem was detected with any of the memory modules.
Any idea where are the lost 194MB?
Thanks in advance

I don't know if ML servers share video memory with RAM. If so, then why before did not borrowed the memory? A BIOS setting change?
I think that what i'm saying has no sense.
At boot time, hardware level, do you see the full 2GB?

Re: 194MB lost on a Windows ML370 G3
Even though Windows 2003 Standard does not support more that 4GB, try uing the /PAE switch in your boot.ini file. Let me/us know what happens.
Normally, you would use this swithch to address memory beyond 4GB. Technically, you have @4.1Gb and Proliant Servers/Windows Server 2003 sometimes has a difficult time addressing that last bit of RAM. I think it ha to do with how the BIOS loads as I was reading that somewhere.

Re: 194MB lost on a Windows ML370 G3
Thanks to all of you for your support. First about the question if the server is using the missing memory for video or other stuff I dont think so. When the server had just 2 gigs windows reported 2 gigs and that's makes me believe that this is not the case.
About the boot.ini parameter I will try it right now.

About the /PAE swithch on the boot.ini this swith only applies to window 2003 enterprise edition and datacenter edition, and the equivalent windows 2000 version.
Best regards
