memory upgrade question

[Newmarket2]

I recently purchased an Asus eee.
It came with 1GB and runs XP.....pretty normal
I purchased a 2GB 200pin DDR2 SODIMM, which appears to be the correct type.
I installed it, with no problems but when I check SYSTEM PROPERTIES
it says that I have only 0.99 GB. But, it does also say
PHYSICAL ADDRESS EXTENSION.

Any other way to verify that the 2gb is installed?
Was there a step I didn't take to help Vista find the extra RAM?
Or, might they have put a 1gb module in a 2gb package (the package is correctly labeled)

start, run and type "msconfig", go to boot tab, hit advanced and verify that the maxmem box is not ticked. Apply and restart.

What are the rest of your specs?

it was a BIOS problem

I went into the bios. The full 2gb was there. I saved and exited and there is all was. Problem solved.
