915G-M/V1.0 BIOS 1.0b reports wrong total memory size under system information in dual DDR mode. If you have 2GB DDR400 set to dual channel, Windows XP SP1 and SP2 see the total Physical memory as 1,536.00 MB only.

BIOS 1.0D attached has fixed this memory report error.

Some games hang up when the XD bit of an Intel CPU is enabled. Can you please give me some information about this?

Some games like "Expendable" will hang up because the game will call 3DNow! instruction from XD protect memory page. Intel has suggested SW venders to use SSE2 instead of 3DNow! to get away of this behavior.

Why does my system (in first boot screen and windows property) only recognize 3GB of memory when 4GB (4X1GB) DDR400 memory is installed?

Regarding this behavior, 512M memory (at least) will be occupied by system if you install 4G RAMs because ICH SB/PCI-E/AGP/PCI card and other onboard devices will map to upper memory. Due to current 32bit x86 PC constructure, it will occupy the memory from 4GB (below) & shows 3.xG if you insert 4G memory.

We install 4 GB memory in 915G-M M/B, but it only shows 3.2G, would that be the M/B limitation on max. memory size showing?

Due to PC architectural requirements such as motherboard resources and OS limitations,desktop platforms using 4GB or above memory may be unable to take full advantage of all memory populated on the system. The available memory may report approximately 3.12 GB or less depends on system configurations.

To take advantage of the system memory 4GB or above installed, the computer must meet the following requirements:
• An x64 (64-bit) version of Windows system.
• The chipset must support at least 8GB of address space.
• The BIOS must support the memory remapping feature.
• The CPU must support the X64 instruction set. The AMD64 CPU and the Intel EM64T CPU support this instruction set.

In addition, the 32-bit versions of Windows will reserve a portion of memory for critical system functions such as chipset, BIOS flash, PCI Express, etc. If you have 4GB installed, Windows will indicate less than 4GB is available.
