My Motherboard I have has an Onboard Video and I have the BIOS set to take 64 MB of my system RAM for that.

And I have 2. GB of system RAM.

And if I Right click on My Computer it tells me I have 1.93 GB RAM and I get this that is what is left and I am ok with that.

Now I just added the same type of RAM again another 2. GB stick
And if I Right click on My Computer it tells me I have 3.50 GB

I just wont to know if this is right I think it is???
 
Is your computer telling you it has 3.5 Gb in the BIOS?

If not, you must tell us what operating system you are using.
 
Yup, agreed - my guess is you're using a 32 bit OS which will usually max out at around 3.5 - 4GB. If this is the case then that's perfectly normal, and you'll need to upgrade to a 64 bit OS before it can "see" any more RAM you add!
 
I am running Win Xp Pro 32 Bit servive pack 2.

You need a 64 bit OS to use more than 3 Gb of the RAM.

In my case I have 4 GB of ram:

But, with Vista Ultimate 32 bit, only 3 GB can be used by the system:

32 bit OS...?

Looks like you were correct.
