Memory shows 256 MB, but I have 2 GB

[trimelater]

When I right click My Computer and then click on Property, it only shows 256 MB.

When I do a diagnostic test on the hardware side, the system shows 2 GB of memory. It seem to me that this Windows 2003 software is confuse with the hardware side. I am confust myself.

How do I go about configuring Windows 2003 Server to show 2 GB of memory?

When using more than 1GB of memory, you should have your server configured with the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file (unless it is SBS).

I went into the system setup and changed something which I forget. I kept on pressing F1 for help for each line item. I happen to run across where it said 256 MB is the max if turn on and if turn off 2 GB will be setup.

Thank you Mark for taking the time to answer my question.
