Hello,
I noticed that my ThinkPad T61p (Model 6459-CTO) only detects
3070MB of RAM when performing the extended test at POST, but
installed memory in the BIOS reports 4096MB. I have two 2GB
SO-DIMMs from Crucial installed. Swapping the SO-DIMMS makes
no difference.
Motherboard was replaced under EasyServ because of this and I
had some problems running 3-D graphic intensive applications
(appears to be a known issue with the nVidia graphics chip).
Upon its return, I installed a new HDD and loaded Windows 7.
The BIOS Version is 2.26 and the Embedded Controller Version
is 1.08.
I'd wager it's a bug in the BIOS since all the memory appears to your
OS. You could try something like MemTest86+ or another RAM diagnostic.
PC Doctor might even be on the machine already too.
