Soltek SL-65KIV2
#1
Question 
Hello! There is a Soltek SL-65KIV2 mother board, It has an Award bios. The motherboard on the VIA 694X chipset (Apollo pro 133A), the 694x chipset, as well as the 694t, sees 3 gigabytes of memory, but this motherboard sees only 2 gigabytes, I suspect that this limitation is somewhere in the bios, is there any way to understand this and remove the restriction?

Post a screenshot of Mainboard tab in CPU-Z.
And open Device Manager, click View at the top of the Device Manager window, click Resources by type, and then select Memory.
Resize such window to show all information. Make and post a screenshot of it.

Can I ask you something else?

For the correct operation of a video card with 256 megabytes of memory, via apollo pro 133A(T) requires no more than 2.5 gigabytes of RAM on the motherboard. Because otherwise, the artifacts begin. To operate a 128 megabyte video card, you can use all 3 gigabytes on the motherboard, there will be no artifacts. As I understand it, it turns out that the memory of the video card somehow climbs onto the registers of this third gigabyte, conditionally it turns out like this:

128MB Video
[--------1--------2--------3**------4]

256MB Video
[--------1--------2------**3**------4]

Therefore, when there are 3 gigabytes in the system, problems begin. If you make 2.5 gigabytes, then there are no problems.
Is it possible to reassign the memory somehow so that the address space is allocated FOR the 4th gigabyte? After all, does the bridge chip work as the BIOS tells to him?

In your system memory above 0x80000000 address is used by internal devices. So 2048 Mb are available.
PCI bus uses I/O addresses: from 0x80000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF. Because of it the chipset can't use addresses higher then 0x80000000 for operating memory.
Theoretically this range can be reduces to 0xD0000000-0xFFFFFFFF. It should increase maximum memory to 3328 Mb.
I'll try to make BIOS mod, but I haven't the datasheet for this chipset.
