Less memory installed than available?
I have Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 3438G with XP SP2 with 1 Gb of RAM.
However, System Information shows only 256 Mb Total Physical Memory and 673 Mb Available Physical Memory?! So it tells me that I HAVE LESS MEMORY INSTALLED THAN WHAT IS AVAILABLE? I checked Dxdiag and it shows all 1 GB. I noticed this error when I executed MadOnions 3DMark2001SE benchmarking program and got only 15500 points (previosly about 18500 points). I checked from 3DMarks system info and it showed only 256 Mb of RAM. After restarting 3Dmark2001SE, it showed right amount of RAM (1 GB), but its Memory Info showed only one 256 MB memory DIMM. 3DMark03 showed the memmory correctly. After that I ran SiSoftSandra and it showed all 1 GB. I also checked BIOS and it showed also 1 Gb. So, it seems that System Infomation can't show the right memory or there is really something wrong with memory DIMMs. Could this be a bug in XP? Has anybody any advice or hints what to do? Thanks in Advance Matti

The System Information snap-in is known for under-reporting installed
memory. Not to worry. -- Ted Zieglar "You can do it if you try." "Matti Zeus Memory" wrote in message ... I have Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 3438G with XP SP2 with 1 Gb of RAM.
