your total ram size can be motherboard specific. Why well because of bios
settings some you can change while others you can not.
Example on my asus board I have the option ( a common one at that) to enable
the shadowing of my video and motherboard bios. Which dumps segments of
both into ram. There are some motherboards that if you have your ECSD to
reset on every boot that instead of writing irq vaules to nvram it is stored
in ram. You would be amazed on what is in there just dump and decompile
your motheroard bios you be amazed how many little bits are taken here and
there to make your machine work.
