RAM Upgrade
have Windows Vista Premium on a Dell 1501 Inspiron.
I replaced X2 512 Ram with X2 1024 Ram. The system Bios reports: 633 System 1964032 Extended Bios Version 2.1.0 Windows Vista still reports memory as being 895. (ATI Radeon Xpress Video Hyper memory takes up 319). How do I fix this?

RAM Upgrade
One of your start programs is eating up a lot of your memory. Now, you have to play detective and find out which one. Except for those programs needed to keep Vista running, I would take out one program at a time to find out which one is eating up your memory. It's a slow process, but well worth it to regain most of your memory back. However, with those necessary programs running in the background, you will never get your complete 2 GB memory. -- mort

RAM Upgrade
819 being free? Windows uses your free memory to populate it with Superfetch
information, speeding up your system. If you open a program that needs that information, it will free that RAM and use it for the program that needs it. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "Grandecom News" wrote in message ... have Windows Vista Premium on a Dell 1501 Inspiron.

RAM Upgrade
Try this:
Type MSCONFIG in the "start search" Click the BOOT tab Click the ADVANCED button Uncheck the box that says "Maximum Memory" no need to set it just uncheck it. Reboot and you should now see all your memory. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "Grandecom News" wrote in message ... have Windows Vista Premium on a Dell 1501 Inspiron.
