16 IN PLACE OF 32 MB

[josh_nitb]

I have a p2 350 MHz processor and asus 440lx motherboard. I recently bought a riva tnt2 M64 which has 32mb of video ram. On startup it shows that it is a 32mb graphics card but my system properties shows only 16mb. I had installed latest 56.64 nVidia driver. Help required urgently!

hey dood !
had the same problem with GF4 440mx 128mb.it showed 32 mb
there was a program running in the background Rscmpt.exe or something(gets installed with older forceware drivers.)
when it ran :sys shows 128 mb.
when disabled : sys shows 32mb.
i dont know what this program does or how it works.
but also games ran faster when Rscmpt.exe was disabled.
by the way...
i am still waiting for someone to tell me what RSCMPT is.
some say memory emulator.
i am not sure yet.
but RSCMPT was the culprit in my system.

hey guys
i had installed same tnt2 card which had 32mb but still my xp and me were showing 16mb i.e.same problemas mentioned above.
then i installed apollo 3dthrill 128mb card running with sis315pro proessor
for this card also it was showing half the memoryi.e. it was showing 64mb only.then i istalled latest driver for card from apllo then system started showing 128mb
then i ran spybot S & D to clearup startup entries there i found same
Rscmpt.exe.

Spybot says it is an 64mb memory emulator used by graphic card.Full desription is
"
Current filename:
D:\WINDOWS\System32\Rscmpt.exe

Database status:
Necessity depends on users preferences
Value:
Rscmpt
Filename:
rscmpt.exe

Description
Required on the GeFroce 64 meg MX card to show the full 64 meg memory and appears to be a software memory emulator running under the Win2K - see _here_. High CPU useage results - hence the U status

so guys is graphic card companies cheating us?
and does really such emulators improve perfomance?
if not then they are cheating us.
And it was all from offical drivers!!!!!!!

But i never saw anything saying Rscmpt.
Then what could be the problem???

I installed a card with same chip but different company:GEFORCE 2 MX400,64MB(from XFX) ,and had the same drivers as of for my card and the system showed the memory size of 64mb So is there a problem with my card?solution??

I hope someone experienced out can help us
