QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Aug 11 2008, 09:36 AM) From reports I've read, this is the same as the amount of RAM that the Graphic card has, thus if the Graphic card you are using is an SLi'ed one, with each using 1GB of RAM, be prepared to lose 2GB from the memory addressing space that windows allocated Would I have this issue in Vista x64 if I upgrade >4Gb? |

QUOTE(cwcho83 @ Aug 12 2008, 06:49 PM) Hrmm. I have same thing with my setting too.My task manager seems to be reporting some weird available ram readings. I'm currently have installed 3gb ram in 570sli mobo. Looks at my screenie below. Is this normal? I am just opening a few FF windows and a BT task... I only have 325Mb memory left  This is not within my expectation  Vista is memory hungry   Fariz, noted that...Thanks QUOTE If you install 8 GB of RAM, the system memory that is available to the operating system will be reduced by the PCI configuration requirements. In this scenario, PCI configuration requirements reduce the memory that is available to the operating system by an amount that is between approximately 200 MB and approximately 1 GB. The reduction depends on the configuration. This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Aug 13 2008, 08:10 PM |
