Only 7M show up from 1G?

[Bruce2]

Hi there, I put 2x.5g of ram into a friend's hp pavilion ze 5478cl only 7M showed up. The spec indicates it will take 1g of rams. The rams came straight out of my laptop which were good. I figure the on board graphic only takes 64 mb, so what might happen?

and don't forget your OS uses memory too.
