MT incorrectly reporting memory?

I am setting up a new router to replace my old one (better cpu, more memory, etc). I have an IBM desktop board with Intel 1.8ghz processor and 3 x 512mb PC133 SDRam installed. I am using a 64mb DoM with 2.9.20 installed.
In MT, it incorrectly states that the memory is < 1gb even though the IBM Bios correctly displays 1.5GB. I have turned off RAM Cache on the system as well as turning off any unnecessary items in the Bios (onboard sound, NIC, USB, etc). I have also tried down grading to 2.8.28 with no success. Has anyone else ever seen this before? I'd be really bummed if I couldn't take full advantage of 1.5GB of memory!

Can someone point to proof of this? I don't understand why it would only support 1GB!
