Memory less than that installed
When I look at the system from the control panel it shows I have 3324Gb of
RAM yet when I look at the system BIOS it shows I have 4Gb installed, which I do. When I look at the RAM on my Windows XP laptop it shows 512 Mb of RAM which is correct. What gives? |

But because of there are more parts to be addressing, it is less than 4GB. You're lucky, many 4GB-users have no more than 3GB. Something else: Gb stands for GigaBit. -- ____________________ NIGH****CHER ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ |
