Guest Willy Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 This may not be proper place to post this but only NG I could think was appropriate. Sorry if it's not. I'm supposed to have 2GB RAM in this PC. It's showing 1910MB in Control Panel>System. Is 1910MB the same as 1.9GB? Or is my PC not seeing both1GB sticks? -- Thanks, Bill Post replies back to News Group
Guest C J. Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: RAM question Some of that loss is due to your Video adapter card.. esp if it has 128mb on the card... then 1910 GB should be correct.

Guest Willy Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: RAM question Appreciate the clarification.

If your system uses shared video memory, then some of your 2GB of RAM will be devoted to the video system, and Windows won't report it as RAM in the control panel applet. Yes, 1.9 GB is about the same as 1910MB, the machine is certainly seeing both sticks. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

However you may have lost some of your memory to the graphics card if you have shared memory.
Guest frodo@theshire.net Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: RAM question or you may have lost some of the ram to "ROM shadowing" being done in the bios. You do not need that w/ XP, and you should turn it off.

Not a problem, your pc is using some of your ram to work your video card. -- http://www.bootdisk.com/
