mine's 254MB

my cousin's lappy also shows 240MB

mine shows 1024mb.Nothing weird.

yeh kya ho raha hai ...

... bole toh abhi tak jo padha sab galat tha ....wtf

see it depends, mine shows 504MB RAM, but i know i have a 512MB stick. the remaining is consumed for video acceleration or some other tasks by the Operating System.

^^Only for video acceleration.

arre how tht so ... it shud show the ram u have in ... consumed for other purposes is another thing

It shows you the total which is available for windows for various other tasks.

If you have the turned silent boot mode off from your BIOS, you can see the total memory while your computer starts. It inlcudes the main memory + shared memory (i.e. for video acceleration).

like that coz 2 4 8 32 64 128 or 256 mb can be shared as many of us know that,,this is a bios feature and all devices are controlled by that only so, Windows get Ram sizes by BIOS after sharing

then y is my ram being shared ... i wud love for it to b shared somewhr for better performance

its shared for Video accelleration , if it wont be shared then how will your system work without any accelleration for VIDEO performance.

Many onboards share only 2 mb and make it to 64 .

it depends on chipset..

BUT THATS VERY LESS WHAT IS SHARED..

arre par my pc showing full 512 and has been as far as my memory goes while using a computer

cant understand ???

meaining .. my pc is showing 512 ... my previous pc showed 64 and the 1 b4 tht 32 ... y no ram from my ram is being shared

do you have a gfx card.

many mobos dont share it by default as said by ^ vimal check in the BIOS for extra memory sharing or allocation feature ..by default your Onboard is of 2 4 or max. 8 mb MOSTLY 2

btw r u usin a gfx. card?

oops ya i forgot abt my fx 5200 and my sis 6326

dont the RAM sharing apply for Onboard gfx. card & with exception of some dedicated gfx. card (nvidia's TC series)

well mav3, ur system RAM is not shared.

that solves it all

hey if you are using a GFX card then how it can be shared....

__________
but 6200tc didnt shared any ram why it showed the FULL ?????? is it also possible...

i saw it thats why ?? may be in different cards it matters.

the make was
ASUS 6200TC and 256 mb card , my friend got it inside his HP machine

Now how about some "solid green reps" for gfx card solution.

what is meant by > solid green Reps >>>

I wont go off topic again but it means REP ME

.
BTW. THANKS ;-)

yeah right

how about some reps

wat u guys just told me tht a dedicated gfx card doesnt need shared memory and u want reps for tht ...wah wah kya kehne app logon k ....
