| 75242 | 2002-08-31 07:55:00 | I have a hp pavilion with 64.mb ram It came with windows me and it is 19 months old. When I right click my computer-properties-performance well my memory says 63.0mb of ram - system resorces 64% free - file system 32 bit and virtual memory 32 bit. My sister said my memory should always read 64.mb the question is should i be worried and where can it have gone as i don't play any large games just the usual cards and majongg and stuff and i defrag every month and also do computer housework once a month 4 things like clearing out my cookies and tmp files. once again should i be worried I would welcome any help ta. |

| 75243 | 2002-08-31 08:07:00 | I wouldn't worry about it too much. That missing 1MB is probably used for the video card, or something similar in the bios. If Your ram was actually mal functioning you would know cause, you would have none, or maybe only 32MB. | roofus (483) | ||
| 75244 | 2002-08-31 08:09:00 | Yes, as mentioned by roofus, the RAM is "hard allocated" to startup video. More is allocated as required for games etc and returned when not needed. | godfather (25) | ||
