Well I figured it out my self. so you guys know, I’m running xp32, as a 32 bit OS, it can only address 4 gigs of addresses, the card pushed me over the 4 gigs so the memory is not addressed. All I need to do is switch to xp 64 and I’ll be good.
256MB memory space is reserved for I/O APIC and BIOS EPROM
256MB is reserved for configuration space memory mapping access for PCI Express
256MB is reserved for PCI Bridge Device, IDE Controller, USB Devices, On-board Audio
600MB for the 2 video cards
2560MB for the main memory
Gives me a total of 3928 megabytes, not including the RAID array, and several other devices, which makes up the remaining 512MB I am missing.
