Solve : Computer can't find memory? |
|
Answer» I just installed a 512 mb stick of ram in my compaq presario v2000, and I already have a 256 mb stick of ram in there. So I should have 768 total. But my computer is for some reason only using 640 mb of it. In the bios, it shows all of the ram there. In fact, when I run sisoft sandra, it tells me that I have the full amount, except under the motherboard setting, where it shows me that I don't. So, CLEARLY (I think), some parts of my computer are recognizing the ram, while others aren't. I'm a bit confused--help?If you have the video built in on the motherboard it will take up RAM. Is you video 128MB? Because that's the difference between 640 & 768. If you have the video built in on the motherboard it will take up RAM. Is you video 128MB? Because that's the difference between 640 & 768.Right, and, in My Computer | Properties | General, Windows will report the total physical MEMORY installed less the amount a shared/dedicated memory in a system with onboard video. So, if the amount of system memory allocated to video is 128MB, then Windows would report 640MB, as it's been trained to do by Microsoft. Quote QuoteAre both RAM strips the same speed?
