RAM

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hello,
I have 1 GB RAM,. 2 chips of 512 MB. The bios recognises it properly.
When I right click on "my computer", the RAM is displayed correctly but when
i do Start Menu->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Information,
the total physical RAM is displayed as 768 MB. Why is this happening?
I sometimes get the crash of Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal. Does it has
something to do with RAM?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This is a completely wrong answer.

Chuck has been smoking a little too much of the ganga.


Do you have on-board video or a separate video card?

Bobby,

This is unlikely to be the issue here. I don't believe that an on board chip
can utilise more than 128MB - I have certainly never come across a chip that
takes 256. In all the boards I've had (including this one) with on-board
(not that I'm using it) the maximum setting is 128.

While my card is not onboard (AGP slot model with Dual DVI output - 256MB),
I do have both outputs shadowed at 256MB each, using a total of 512MB of my
4GB or RAM, which leaves only 3.5GB for Windows. This is done entirely
through the BIOS and speeds up rendering on both Digital LCD monitors -
works extra nicely in Game Play.

Niether of those articles has anything to do with WindowsXP or the problem.
They are regarding memory mangement in a Win9x system. WinXP is COMPLETELY
different in this respect.

My best guess is the same line of thinking that NoNoBadDog! has, that there
is shared video ram.
