768mb ram

[raygreen]

It shows 768Mb Ram because you only 1gb ram recognised and used, of which 256mb have been allocated to video memory. (1025 - 256 = 768mb)

If you remember you once had 2gb of ram,

it's most likely either

4 X 256mb ram modules,
- 2 of your memory modules are spoilt, or have come loose

or 2 X 1GB ram modules
- 1 of the memory modules is spoilt, or have come loose

Re: 768mb ram

[navypal]

I suspect that one of the ram may have come loose or is defective as suggested by ya, when the time permits, will check more thouroughly. appreciate the thoughts
