I assume you are talking about the "phenomenon" of RAM "missing" due to PCI and other I/O mapping into the 4GB address space? What struck me about the OP is that the amount of RAM "missing" is more than I have ever seen due to this. My systems are usually 3.4-3.6GB of RAM with 4GB installed, not 2.86GB (3005MB)... So are we sure that the PCI space mapping is the problem? Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad@shire.net
