CISCO2911 Dram mismatch between show ver and post output

Hi,

I wanted to see if anyone knows of an IOS bug or has seen this before.  If not then i will start testing different IOS versions to see if i can find a fix before i open a TAC case.  I didnt see anything in the release notes about it but its occuring on this new 2911 i just got. 

Show version and post dram to not match up.  When it posts it shows that it has 512MB dram.  After it boots it shows the unit has 1GB of dram.
