It might be safe to assume that it is a bad stick of ram, but it would help to know the rest of your setup to confirm that though.
also it might be a setting somewhere to limit the amount of memory the system uses.
Ok so i got new mobo and a new 512 sdram stick but it only reads 284mb of ram... Why is that?

I'm guessing you have integrated video? If so, how much RAM is allocated to video RAM?

i dont see it.. lol sry im not a newb to computers just cant figure this out... theres AGP aperture size which is set at 32M. Video RAM Cacheable is enabled. Theres something about Video BIOS shadow which is enabled.
If you can allocate RAM, there's a setting for how much RAM to allocate to video. If it's not there, it's a fixed amount and you can't change it.
And did you put DDR RAM into a motherboard that doesn't use DDR per chance?
