I recently built 3 PC's

All hardware new, inc motherboard, memory, processor, case power supply.

All show correct config pre bios, however, once in windows, all are showing 196,080 kb RAM

I have not tried using any specific memory trouble shooter yet; this information was gained from the system properties (general tab) application (via right clicking on my computer icon on desk top and giong into properties.

The bios (pre windows ) shows the correct memory

Each PC has 1 single memory stick (256mb)

Assuming you are using the correct RAM speed (FSB) for your motheroard, I would suggest it is due the the GPU using RAM (if shared). You should also look for the CHIPSET drivers for the mobo.

Looks like you have 64MB allocated to onboard graphics. Unfortunately, the best you can usually do is set the allocated amount of RAM to the minimum in the BIOS. This will vary depending on the motherboard.
