Solve : FreeRam showing less Memory?

1.	Solve : FreeRam showing less Memory?
Answer» I have 3 sticks of 1gb memory installed on my COMPUTER, I also have FreeRam installed to monitor it. When I go to my computer/properties it says I have 3gb but FreeRam says I only have 2gb(that's total memory not free, RIGHT now it says I have 2047 MB free and 2048 installed). Is something wrong with one of my sticks of memory? Also before I used FreeRam I used another RAM defragmenter and it also said I only had 2gb Thanks in advance for the help.Do you have 7950GX2 SLi?

I've always known to look at my computer and it has always said 3gb but since FreeRam said I only had 2 I was a little concerned with the conflicting totals. But since you say free ram is JUNK I suppose I remove it. Thanks for all the help. Quote from: Calum on June 13, 2007, 05:09:21 AM Get rid of FreeRAM.
