Hello and welcome to Techspot.

The reason you ram is showing up as 382mb and not 512mb is because of your 128mb shared graphics.

The only way to get the full 512mb, is to get a separate graphics card.

even thou i have a 512mb stick instaled??? seems like it would be more then 512 then??

Your 128mb shared graphics, means that you have 512mb of ram, less the 128mb graphics which is shared=384mb of ram remaining.
