Same here. 32mb out of 1GB missing due to allocation as video buffer.
Why full RAM capacity is not shown?

LOL!!! You quoted asigh's post!!! techani has not stated that he has shifted to a 64-bit OS!!!
See the name in both quotes??

Right off the assembly line
RAM memory takes some memory to the video if no video card is installed moreover it shows in MB
It's a bit older topic but I'd like to add a few words anyway.
I just bought this same motherboard, the ASUS P5B-VM and I also get 2808 MB of RAM reported at POST. I'm using 4 x 1 GB sticks of double-sided DDR2 533 MHz modules. Memory remapping is disabled in BIOS. G965 chipset can otherwise address 8 GB of memory (4 ranks per channel for a total of 8 ranks). I also have an Intel motherboard with G915 chipset and that one eats about 768 B for I/O device mappings and leaves 3.3 GB available even in 64-bit Windows (G915 can address max 4 GB). Why ASUS P5B-VM takes 1288 MB I have no idea. I set the integrated graphics adapter to use 128 MB and even if I counted that I would hardly get over 8XX MB. I haven't yet figured out what 1288 MB (520 MB over the usual 768 MB) could be reserved/mapped for.
BTW enabling memory mapping and using 32-bit Windows will show even less available memory, I think around 2 GB. It's probably a bad idea to be using such a combination anyway.
