I just reinstaled windows xp and I does'nt seem to be picking up my ram correctly. I have put in an extra 512 mb so I should have 1024, but when I look in system it seems only to be picking up 1000mb of ram. Where is the other 24mb gone?
I had same problem, it's nothing major, it's just what Windows reports, no more then that. My 1024 MB of ram is recognized at 1.00GB of RAM in windows, the BIOS gives the correct read out. Don't worry, it's nothing to worry about.
i currently have 1.7 odd gig of ram plugged into this computer... shows up fine inside XP... shows ok in bios too... XP can take upto 4 gig i beleive... although i never tried it...
if its reading it wrong inside windows.. could be XP reading soemthing wrong... if its incorrect in bios means you got a setting messed up... go into the bios/cmos settings and play with the ram options... should be too complicated...
Sounds like windows handling bits and bytes wrongly. ie 1000megabytes = 1024megabits or something like that. When you say 1024mb ram, it is 1024megabits which is 1000megabytes? Although my ram is showing correctly, oh well, maybe i'm wrong.
I'm sure someone will tell me if I am
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?
