Subject: I have 98 MB Ram but Windows says Only 87 Ram, can chess prog. do this?

My Pentium 2, 233Mhz uses the older Simms type Ram. I have a total of 98 MB and
after playing hundreds of games with various Chess programs my system shows less
than what is actually installed. Here is my best description of problem:

When my system boots up, it says I have 98 mg ram which is accurate, but after
windows is done running, windows tells me I only have 87 ram. I ram the memory
tester in Norton and it says everything is ok but it tells me I have 87 ram. If
some memory went bad, shouldn't it also be bad at bootup?, so I think it may be
a tracking problem of some sort. Any suggestions?
