VW BMW · 07-03-2008, 04:39 PM

Ok so basically I didn't have this problem before, until i swapped for a new mobo, Instead of 2GB ram, it shows only 1.75. Anybody know why? and what can i do so that it can make it use all 2GB RAM?

Thanks...

Custom built.

Mobo: Nvidia GeForce 7050-M-M DDR2
CPU: AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.9Ghz
Video card is a built in graphics card (nfroce 630a)

Btw do you know how i can get my full system specs?

With the built in graphics is all I really needed to know, 256Meg is supplying the onboard video and the remainder 1.75Gig is what your seeing for the system. So you are using all 2Gig.

You can also use the Everest and the Aida32 to get the full detail of your PC specifications

A quick and easy way to see most (not all) of your pc specs is by entering: "dxdiag" in the RUN field.. Doesn't require any downloads or anything.. =)
