hello, my PC is old and am getting a new one hopefully,
on my current computer i had one stick of ddr 256mb, the PC only picked up 200 and something. for the mean time- before my new PC i thought as small RAM was cheap i would stick another in there, so i put a second 256mb stick into the second slot.
i now have 512mb but my PC is only picking up 480... ??? why is this!! i checked it by going to My computer>properties... the typical way.. i also tried it on the Crucial website, that confirmed that i DID have 512 but where is that 32mb going?? is part of RAM reserved or something? cheers 😀. i will answer to any replies if needed, cheers vmuch 😀
