i dont understand how my memory has shrunk from 512mb to 448mb can some help me with this and explain to me thanks.
when u look at your ram thogh my computer properties it shows taht u have less cause the computer is using some of it at the time. but you are using 512 mg of ram
yes it is, thats what is onboard in my pc, mine uses 128mb of system memory, look in your bios there may be a setting to adjust the ammount.
thanks ppl u hav bin a gr8 help but i was just wondering that is all cause im thinking of buying some more memory anyway but it bugged me when i went to install burning crusade and it was complaining i dont have 512 memory when i do lol.
you do & don't have 512meg as part of it is used by the onboard video. ran into that on a customer's pc with xp & 256meg of ram. trying to install norton on his pc that requires at least 256meg that he has but actually had 254meg because 2 meg used by onboard video. norton wouldn't install so he returned it & got mcaffee that did install.
I'd suggest upping that puppy to at least 1GB of system memory, if not 2GB if you can afford it. Then, leave the onboard memory set to it's highest available... specially if you want to play WoW.
