Doesn't show correct RAM

ESR
Any ideas why my available RAM is only showing 249.7 MB?
It shows 2 GB in the BIOS.

Thanks,

Eric

    Maybe you should check for a BIOS update; also check all of the BIOS settings.

    You could also boot off another linux CD such as Knoppix or RIP and see if they see all the RAM.

    As always Barry has the best answers.. 

    I would add "what does the system say it has for RAM at post"
    "Is the RAM maybe shared with anything else like the onboard video or nics"
    "What happens when you pull out one of the sticks of RAM, does it change how much RAM is shown"

    If possible kick out a copy of your hardware using "lshw" from the command line.
