zonealarm
Norton crash gaurd (i wouldnt use it if the mem didnt get lost)
activesynce
this problems really getin on mi nerves now so plez sum1 help :mad:
Try removing everything from the startup tray and see how much ram is lost.
There will be some process running in the background hogging all the memory.
I've found software like Norton Crash Guard more trouble than its worth.
I think that this is more of a post to be in the Windows Forum than the Bios/Motherboard forums, but here goes...
Disable/Get Rid of/Destroy all Media for Norton Crash Guard. This doesnt help you at all! Since you're running Norton CG, might you also be running Norton SystemWorks? Try uninstalling that too if you have it.
Also, try MSConfig, remove some of the programs at startup as well.
iv got rid of nearly everything and just look at this:

On a wild guess here: your video card would'nt be the "share memory" type by any chance ?
im not sure its a TNT2 32MB AGP.
how do i find out??
Only onboard video shares memory..so the answer would be no.

There are some boards actually that do have TNT2 graphics onboard, but it won't come to me who the manufacturer is. Damn I hate it when that happens.
