Mine does the same thing. Thinking about submitting a bug report on it.

It might be the Base 0 numbering thing.

Does 1 meg difference really matter these days?

Is there even a Vista capable Motherboard out there that will accept
as little as 64M memory sticks?

I agree, consistency would be nice, but reliability is high on *my*
priority wish list.

Like I said I was thinking about it... I have so many other glitches to
report first, like the graphical abnormalities in minesweeper. j/k

Mostly some weird connection problems. At least IE is stable on the
latest build that it doesn't open double browsers when you launch a new
site.

I am running 2 GB of dual channel memory. Vista shows 2047 so the loss
gets a little smaller as the amount of ram goes up.
