New Build Question
I just assembled a new computer with the following:
ASUS A8V-VM Athlon64-3000-939 CPU Western Digital HD Two 128 MB sticks of PC3200 My problem is that only 192 MB is showing up as usable, rather than the 256 MB installed. Is there some setting in bios, that I haven't found, that would limit usable memory to 192 MB? Thanks for any help provided. |

You can lower or set it higher to choose a proper shared VGA memory.
That's why it shows 192MB. Bill wrote: In article , says...

I've switched memory sticks around and tried a different pair of slots, but still got the 192 MB available. Sure was dreading shipping the memory and motherboard/cpu combo back. Appreciate your help. |
