Badams66 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Im pretty sure thats normal....i have a 256 stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gouber5585 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Did you check your bios for an option that makes a memory whole between pin ?? and ?? should be turned off i think. If its on, it will not recognize all the memory on the stick, only some of it. Also, have you tried to see if its just windows calculating it wrong by comparing it to what another program would say? Just some thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I have never had that problem in any pc's ever mine is showing up alll the way. Wha kinda ram and mobo and are you running dual channel. maybe you are running in wrong slots if your mobo has dual channel slots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 512mb is 512mb  unless you're sharing some with onboard video.  I'd say bad stick or bad slot on the mobo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I don't think it is normal, I have 2 256MB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 (edited) I think it prolly is for onboard video, or the memory hole. But you should on see the memory hole option on boards with ISA slots... Â Kevin, that's 32 MB...sounds like onboard vid to me. Edited August 1, 2003 by DevilMB3017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 check it with WCPUID .. does sound like onbaord video, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 It has to onboard...each time it's 32 MB...kinda odd... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 What you are experiencing is normal. Under the windows, general tab it does not correctly identify my cpu speed but correctly identifies my ram. It says AthlonXP 2400+ (2.0Ghz) 512mb RAM but I theoritically have it clocked at 1.992 Ghz But if I try to autorun a MaximumPC disk it will incorrectly identify my cpu speed but I know this is common within the general tab and other programs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 yep - im running onboard video for now - now that I know that can I alocate like 64 Mb for video - would that give me a preformance boost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 no, the adapter built in is set at a current size of memory but yeah the video is the problem for your ram beeing calculated wrong. Then again I'm not sure with after market boards with onboard, I know that with retail level systems you can't change the onboard memory size.
