I installed an additional 256mb sodimm stick in my laptop to augment the existing 256mb

From Belarc:


384 Megabytes Installed Memory

Slot 'U5' has 256 MB
Slot 'U6' has 256 MB



from DAL:


Total Memory Deteced in Hardware: ~512 MB
Memory Reported to Operating System: 382MB



256 + 256 ≠ 384

What gives?

ETA:  I tried switching the ram locations, etc.  Same results.  Also, my specs are:

HP/Compaq Presario v2000 notebook
WinXP
AMD Sempron 2800+

Zhuk and GLof might haved solved it.  The Radeon 200M is shared memory.  HOWEVER - how did it even get by sharing off of the 256m before???
