My sister bought a 1 gig stick of PNY ram.
for some reason when i check properties under my computer.
it only shows 992 MB of ram. I think it suppose to say 1gb of ram.
Is there somthing wrong with the ram. It is PNY :( and all.
or does it just do that sometimes.
There's nothing wrong with the stick. It's just that something is using it, maybe your antivirus program. For example: I have 2 256 MB sticks, but only showing 504 RAM. This is becasue NOD32 is using 8 MB of the 512.
When I bought this computer it always showed 512 MB. Then, when I was using Panda Antivirus+Antispyware 2006 it was always showing 504 and sometimes 503. When I switched to AVG Free it showed 512 again. Now, I'm using NOD32 and showing 504 MB.
