2 memory slots, 256MB each slot, but total only 448MB?
My friend's old computer has two memory slots with 256MB memory in each
slot (the maximum allowed). However, the reported memory is only 448MB instead of 512MB. Why might that be? HP Compaq Presario 7360

Yes, you motherboard is reserving 64MB for the onboard graphics chip -
you can usually adjust this amount; 32MB, 64MB, 128MB or similar, or get you full memory back by installing a dedicated graphics card. (AGP or PCI-E)
