HELLO TO THE FORUM


i want to ask you about a memory little problem that i have


i have 2gb ram ,but vista shows tha i have 2046

2mb ram missing !!!!

does anyone know what happening ?

don't worry about the missing memory, could be the OS reporting it incorrectly or the ram is not the best, mine only shows 2038, usually with this small amountage it is something to do with the ram

This article by Business Week.com is quite informative on the subject of "Lost" memory.

mm his issues isn't that he is over the 3 gig limit for user mode memory, his ram is just reading at hte full 2048 that it should, the Ram chips most likely are not regsitering the full amount of ram on them, happens with chips that aren't up to spec sometimes

It's also documented even better here in the forums.

Yeah it's weird like that, system properties show 2046MB but task manager shows 2045MB.

msinfo32 shows 2,045.88MB... So system properties rounds up and task manger drops the decimal digits...

Microsoft has always been very bad at being consistent, one of the biggest complaints for Windows Vista during the beta..

Huh? What is inconsistent? I'm not arguing, but I don't remember ever hearing that...
