*The Intel Q45 Express chipset includes a built-in Management Engine (ME), which allocates memory for manageability functions. Management Engine memory is shared with system memory. If the PC contains a single SO-DIMM, 16 MB of memory is pre- allocated for it at system startup. If the PC contains two SO-DIMMs, 32 MB of memory is pre-allocated. This memory is not made available to the operating system, just as pre-allocated video memory is not available.
