can anyone help/put me straight on this.
Others have made very good comments. I'll throw two more suggestions in:
1. Some PCs "steal" from main memory to shadow ROM or provide some devices dedicated memory to work in. Try starting with mem=20M and working upwards until it dies. You can type these on the LILO "boot:" prompt after the kernel name (often "Linux") as long as there's no line in lilo.conf yet. When you find the right one, add it to lilo.conf and rerun lilo.
2. Maybe memtest86's floppy disk image will detect how much is really there and make sure that the memory is working properly. Search the web for it.
