Linux not reporting 1gb of ram

[Frank Kumro]

I have 1gb of ram on my machine and when I cat /proc/meminfo I recieve
this information

total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:

Shouldnt MemTotal be around  1033936 kB? Do I need to use some kind of
High Memory support in the kernel? FYI windoze does see 1gb of ram and
memtest86+ doesnt report any errors with the ram and sees 1gb. Its
been a rough day with linux and I :(
