Your upgraded 2000 has maybe lost the system patch that will enable it to
"see" the extra 3 MB. If you open "Extras", then select "Memory info" from
the little "i" button on the lower left, you should see "ROM Version 2.1
(717260-1). If the number in parenthesis doesn't match, then it's most
likely that you don't have the system patch and would need to download it
from UNNA <http://www.unna.org/> and install it.
