Displaying full amount of RAM doesn't mean that full amount is utilized.

QUOTE(unknownsubject @ Dec 16 2008, 12:31 AM) does installing sp1 for vista32bit enable the 4gb of ram to be available/visible? Yes, 4GB of RAM will be visible but will not be utilized. |

QUOTE(kons @ Dec 20 2008, 09:33 PM) pae on windows vista is non-existent. If not mistaken. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise supports PAE up to 64GB of RAM. I miss the Windows server where 32 bit version can do pae.   |

QUOTE(xelnamikaze @ Dec 23 2008, 01:22 AM) well.. 3.25GB is well enough for normal users. It's true, for example, in my MacBook. I've only got 4GB of RAM and when I edit multiple layers of ".raw" photos in Adobe PS4, it may lag. graphic editors are different though..  |

QUOTE(Dem @ Jan 6 2009, 07:36 PM) Guy...i'm figure out a problem when slotting 1gb RAM into my lappy. Existing RAM is 2gb. But when i'm slotting one more 1gb RAM, it show error on window during booting. Make sure that you match the correct specs of both sticks of RAM.What exactly happen...any idea?? Last time i checked at crucial.com, it say that my lappy can go into 3gb ~ 3.5gb of RAM max. Mine is Presario C767TU p/s: i had post it in others thread too. But i'm still not satisfied with the answer. So decided to ask here.  |

QUOTE(Ryeeson @ Mar 24 2009, 12:55 PM) i also have this question lingering in my mind for a long time. i understand the engineering behind. Graphics card memory (unless integrated) isn't shared. It's dedicated. Therefore, there's a reason to buy 4GB (not 2GB too little) if your gonna use high-end graphics card with 1GB of dedicated graphics card memory.my question is now, is it a waste to buy a memory more than 2 GB? well, let say we have a graphic card with 1Gb of memory (and probably SLI or CF = 2GB). |
