gangstaj8 wrote:Hmm, that's interesting, I have a little bit of the opposite issue. I have 512 DDR SDRAM installed, but Windows only show 448, which is a difference of exactly 64. I wonder if part of that is reserved for hardware, so it doesn't show up in the properties? That's what both the System Properties and the Task Manager shows, System Information says I have the 512MB of physical, and about 2GB of virtual mem. The SO stands for Small Outline, according to Wiki, so I don't see how that would relate to your issue, but who knows.
Willen wrote:Most likely, the difference is due to your video chipset using main memory for graphics. So your guess is correct. Check your video adapter's properties and you will most likely find that it is using 64MB of memory.
