My Ram Problem
I have a Intex Computer, with Processor of 3.06 GHz, P4, Intel Inside, with Windows XP SP2, and I have two SD RAM each of 256 MB which in together should be 512 MB but I get only 409 MB Ram when I check my properties. Why is that? How can I utilized all the 100% of my RAM?

Re: My Ram Problem
Rest memory is used by your graphics adapter.
You can't utilize to full, though.
But you can reduce the amount allocated to graphics from the BIOS.

Re: My Ram Problem
From your details there above, i think you have to be using Intel Original Motherboards and not other chipsets. Just press F2 or del on your keyboard and go into your setup. Then go to the advanced tab and go to the video adapter option and reduce the memory used to a lower one like 4MBs rather than 32MBs. CAUTION: THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR PC'S PERFORMANCE IN GAMING. YET IT WILL IMPROVE THE NORMAL EFFICIENCY OF YOUR COMPUTER

Pranav

Re: My Ram Problem
Whatever you see on the screen is processed by the video card. You might be having an intel 865/915/965 adapter or others like ATI radeon, Nvidia etc onboard.
Those onboard ones use the system memory to process. This is allocated by the system.
In your case, some 100 MB is allocated. You can make it 64 Mb if you like, but at the cost of display perfomance.
The more the graphics memory, the better your games will be.

Re: My Ram Problem
I have one ponit.
RAM manufactures consider 1000KB=1MB
But XP calculate 1024=1MB
So,system property shows less RAM than inatalled RAM.
