It has Seagate 40 GB HD & 256 MB RAM (2x 128; don't know which brand). But when I checked the C Drive Properties, the info I got are as under: Used space:2,317,647,872 bytes 2.15 GB Free space:37,690,081,280 bytes 35.1 GB Capacity:40,007,729,152 bytes 37.2GB When I checked the System properties: 240 MB RAM Capacity:40,007,729 I cam confused with the mathematics above. When I talked to the tech. he said there is space the HD's reading device occupy, which won't be available for use. Still can't understand the mechanics because my old PC with 2.14 GB HD displays the whole value. This is also true with its 128 MB RAM. Can anyone give me some 'sense' on this, please. It is funny that the space I 'lost' in the new HD is more than that I have in my old PC! Cheers Mukesh	Guest (0)
