Memory question
Bill Cunningham wrote:
That's it Paul! That's my motherboard. So there's no video settings to change ? The computer will just take so much RAM then. OK. Bill The BIOS has two settings, 64MB and 128MB. You can reduce it to 64MB if you want. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer any lower settings (i.e. a setting suited to a couple frame buffers maybe). Paul |

Why would my system still be saying I have 896 MB of ram? Do I need to do something in BIOS? When I had a 1024 and a 512 MB in there it was showing I had 1.3 GB of ram. How much Ram can XP X64 handle. Only as much as winserver 2003? Bill It is being assigned to on-board video. There may be a way to adjust that in the bios but you should leave it alone. I'd just put in the 1024 stick and a 512 stick or else purchase one more stick of 1024 If you end up putting in two 1024 sticks and there is a bios adjustment for video ram, I'd actually assign more that the 128 megs currently alloted. Well see the thing is, some computers want the smaller stick in the first slot. Others the second. Some don't seem to care. And I believe sometimes you don't mix an old stick with a newer one. Bill If you mix two different RAM types all that usually happens is it will clock at the slowest speed. I'd just get an exact match for the 1024 stick you have then max out the video RAM (if the bios allows it) |
