ok, stupid question. well not for me, lol. i just added more memory to my system, 768mb is what's in it, but it's reading 704mb. why is that ? thank you in advance for any help.

My guess is you have a 64MB on-board video card which is utilising your RAM.. 768-64=704

i disabled my onboard graphics card when i installed my ati 9250 card.

Even still, your onboard is buffering 64MB of your system RAM, as a just in case. You can turn this down to 8MB in your BIOS.

What motherboard do you have. If you don't know, google CPU-Z Download the program, fire it up, and click the motherboard tab. Its in there.

Once I know what BIOS I'm working with, I can give you a real answer.

Dosn't look like you can adjust your video memory.

Sorry dude.
