A shot in the dark... do you have CUSTOM memory timings set in your bios (rather than "automatic")?
I found, strangely, that my Intel DQ45CB mobo will report the full 8GB I have installed when memory timing is set to automatic, but it reports only 7GB if I try to use custom settings.
BTW this is with Ubuntu 64 bit server (many versions since I started with 7.04). It's not Linux... it's the motherboard chipset eating 1 GB of ram for apparently no reason.
For what it's worth.....
