Awkward, try re-seating again the ram (ofc when the pc is off lol), if it keeps on showing that, try getting memtest86 and burn it to a disk then boot from that disk, if you memory has any errors/is dead it will show it

the memory sticks is fine ofcourse, maby its the homepage..

http://global.4story.com/pop/system_check.asp
thats the site, only on explorer.. try and see if it works..
Well if my "my computer" say;

intel core 2 duo
e8600 @ 3.33GHz
3.33GHz, 3.25GB RAM
PAE (physical adress extension)

that must mean that its 3.25gb.. right.. RIGHT?!...

If you updated to > service pack 1, you should be getting 3.25GB.

You can run
Run > cmd > input "systeminfo"
and look for "Total physical memory"

Read that article in case you think about getting vista;
Using the full ram only works on 64bit.
