4GB Ram Installed / Total Physical Ram = 2.75GB?
OS Name Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Ultimate Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Manufacturer NVIDIA System Model NFORCE 780i SLI System Type x64-based PC Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz, 2500 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies, LTD P5P, 30/05/2008 SMBIOS Version 2.4 Windows Directory C:\Windows System Directory C:\Windows\system32 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2 Locale United Kingdom Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6001.18000" Time Zone GMT Daylight Time * Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB Total Physical Memory 2.75 GB * Available Physical Memory 1.62 GB Total Virtual Memory 5.71 GB Available Virtual Memory 4.40 GB Page File Space 3.04 GB Page File C:\pagefile.sys System (my computer properties) is showing 4GB ram. But if I open up System Information, I get the above. Why is not display 4GB as total? I could understand if it was 3.5gb because I have a 512mb 9800gtx in there, but where's the rest going? Memory remapping in bios isn't an option cause it's not there in the bios. The bios is detecting the full 4gb And before you ask, I'm running Vista Ultimate x64. I've tried updating the bios, but the updater isn't working at the moment, I'm waiting for a reply from XFX in regards to that. Any help would be much appreciated.

4GB Ram Installed / Total Physical Ram = 2.75GB?
Okay, I realised that it's going to shared system memory, as shown by this: [image: http://i34.tinypic.com/esuttc.jpg] New question: How do I reduce shared memory? I've googled for it but I can't find anything useful. -- Impulse |
