Hello
I have 3 GBs of RAM in my rig, but only 2.93 shows...why is this? Did I possibly put the sticks in the wrong order?
I have 2 1GBs
and 2 512MBs
there may be some fault in them (all have it just like when you get a 160GB hd it only has 149GB) and your video driver may take some of it

Hi,
What kinda video card do you have? If it is on-board, then it could be that some of your memory goes to your card.

It could just be the the normal amount of unaccessable RAM. The max amount a 32bit system can address is around the 3GB mark.

Correct, 32 bit Windows OS's cant access all of the 3GB+ of RAM. 2.93GB sounds about right.

Hi,
The 32 bit OS keeps about 1 GB ram of your memory for him self. That's pure normal.

Windows XP supports 2GB per app thats running but 3GB is the total it will access. I've herd that windows shows memory in a strange way forgot what the reason is now but at 3 GB you have overspent on over kill more ram than your aps need does not speed it up only having less than required slows things down.
