As the subject states, I believe my RAM is not being measured correctly. I bought the laptop less than 2 years ago. It's a HP DV9009NR Laptop. I've read the specs online and it says it comes stock with 2GB of RAM. I just ran a program called CPU-Z and that too says I have 2 GB of RAM, 1024MB on Slot 1 and 1024 on Slot 2. But when I open my Computer Properties(Right click on My Computer>Properties), it only shows that I have 960 MB of RAM. Any reasons as to why it does this? Is one of my RAM cards dead? Thanks in advance for all the replies.

Your graphics chip is stealing 64MB from one stick, and it seems like the other one isn't working. Maybe it isn't seated correctly, or somehow isn't activated?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Hmm...
As freezer kinda said, hardware IO overlays are stealing some of it, but over 1GB is way to much to be just IO.
One could be dead/not seated correctly - download, burn to CD, and then run memtest86 to check.
You should also check it's some weird setting your BIOS...
