That's not what I'm talking about. This is memory that would show up as used, not memory that would fail to show up.
*sigh* No. This would be memory that doesn't show up. You are confusing memory usage of the OS with BIOS allocation. The BIOS might be allocating 512 MB for hardware, but if it supports a 64-bit OS and a 64-bit address space, then that should not be a problem. You are using a newer (2008 -- his article was in 2007 and referred to "old" motherboards) Motherboard, and it appears it can support this configuration.

Read this article here and you can see how to configure the BIOS for a bunch of things. It does not show video RAM allocation, but I'm sure you'll find it. When you have tuned it down to 128 MB RAM, and checked the memory size again, and if you're STILL missing 512 MB, then I'll eat my words. Ok?
