Well...yeah, I know this, but then the math still doesn't make sense. Unless his 1GB is really 512MB. I used to run 768mb on my old desktop.

There are several reasons why this may be occcuring.
IF in fact he did only put the single 1GB chip in and it is still reading as something lower, it may be the case that his motherboard may just not be equiped to recognize that much RAM. Perhaps he needs up update is BIOS. There is also the slim chance that there is some program running that is taking up that much memory as well.
I don't think he tried just putting the single chip in yet.
RAM does funny things wehn it's mixed together.
RAM has caused some of the most unusal errors I have ever seen.
