I lost 256mb of memory

How can memory disappear?

October 10, 2008 8:05 PM from

A few days ago I booted up and my Sysmetric gages show only about 300mb of memory available. I normally have 700mb of my 1gb card available after all my programs are fired up. I looked into my machine specs and sure enough it is showing 768mb of memory available. Everything worked ok and I could not find any oddball programs installed. This led me to (finally) upgrade my memory. After installing a matched pair of 1gb cards, I am still missing 256mb of memory. Any ideas? Thanks.
