i just recently bought "another" 512mb so ill have 1 gig (1024MB) and when i check its readings it shows up as only 960MB why is this?? is there a problem or is there a way i can get it to show 1 gig??
Hey, you most likely have on board video that shares the ram. 1024-960=64MB Is your video 64MB.......That is the most likely explanation and it is perfectly fine..........
i do have onboard video but at this moment it is disabled cuz i have a 128MB ddr memory pci ATI radeon 9250 video card in place of the onboard video and would this still cuz 64 mb or ram to not show?? is there a possible way i can have full ram settings to appear
Hi, no if you have a video card and its enabled, the memory will not be affected. Be sure the ATI is enabled and if it is download this.. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php run cpz and go to the speed tab. You can see what is in what slot and how much it reads.........post back
Hey, where are you seeing the ram at 960mb? Run dxdiag --start>run>dxdiag......what does it say there? Watch the screen when pc boots......what does it say there? You can also check task manager-->performance>physical memory
it says 958MB it wont show up the full ram it says they are their for the total of 1024 but reads 960mb's and how i go this is right click on my computer and got to properties and thats where i get my ram readings and the one u told me to type in run shows 958mb's witch is less then 960 so where is this ram being used 64mb's is missing?? and they are both new so does my processor need ram --does windows?? or my motherboard?? i dunno u tell me lmao its gotta be somewhere?
LOL....if you know how go into the BIOS and it will tell you. I have been using the cpuz for about 6 years and it hasn't been wrong yet.....maybe now.....
ill check my bios and tell u the turn out but i dunno what to tell ya i red out what the reading where when i set my that link and maybe its right i dunno not sure --a friend said that was normal to read 960 cuz windows xp needs 64mb thats sounds hard to believe any ways ill check it and tell ya the read out --i dont think your wrong--maybe is it cuz the rams are differnet kinds both at 512 pc 3200 i dunno
in the bios it reads select for RAM>64MB - non-os2 - os2 i can one of those options and now its on non-os2
ianski7 Member Hey, so its all good now........lol bpanther Junior Member no not really what does that last post mean then??? whats all good?? i don't understand why is it showing 64mb in their and only 960 in the other?
