I just bought a new computer here are the specs first:
==========
ECS Mainboard KT266a(ver: 2.0 VIA chipset AMD XP ready)
2 sticks of 256 mbs of DDR PC2100. (Micron and Samsung)
Maxtor 60gb 7200 RPM 8.7 seek time
G-Force 2 Pro 64mb (not overclocked)
AMD Athlon XP +1700 (not overclocked)
Sound Blaster Live Platnium
==========

Okay, as I boot up my RAM reads out as 512 with some other numbers (as normal). When I enter Windows XP Pro I run MSINFO32 and it says that my Total Physical Memory is only 384.0. Now here is what gets me. When I go into my Device Manager it says I have 512 MB of Ram installed.
Is this a bug in MSINFO32? Or am I doing something wrong here?
Please help if yah can. Thanks for your time.
 
Doesn't say whether it is free or not but I could be wrong.
It says: Total Physical Memory: 384.00 MB
Underneath it says this: Available Physical Memory: 389.63 MB

I just dont think thats reading right because I have 512 mb of DDR pc2100 mb. =(

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
