RAM Not Detected

[Joeyl10]

I'm currently running windows xp and I've noticed something about my ram. My computer comes with 256 megs of ram but when I check on it using a RAM usage moniter it says that I have 192 (or something like that). I know I have 256 because i've checked in side my pc and it on the ram unit it says 256 mb. Someone help please. I would like to free up that ram!

thats normal.....  you can't free it up because its being utilized.....

If you were to add a 512M stick of RAM to that machine; XP, your machine and you would be much happier...

Great...care to elaborate a little ? ? ?

 turns out I looked at the ram wrong (it aculy was supposed to be 192 megs... )

[patio]

I don't believe they ever made 192MG sticks of RAM/

[Joeyl10]

Weird... oh well...

[patio]

256MG of RAM - 64MG being used by the video = 192MG of RAM.
