Ram problems

Hi Hackers,
I have some weirdo problems here. A box (PIII 400Mhz, asus
motherboard, 256MB ram) got a memory upgrade (got the 256MB out, and
put 2x512MB in). Well, the Bios sees the correct amount of RAM (1GB),
but FreeBSD is noticing only 256MB.
I have tried to add MAXMEM="2048*1024" in the kernel, also tried to
put 'hw.physmem="1G"' in /boot/loader.conf, but with no
result. FreeBSD is stubborn enough in detecting:
real memory = 270561280 (264220K bytes)
avail memory = 260583424 (254476K bytes)
at each boot time. Any ideas what else I could check?
Thanks,
bogdan
