Solve : The 3GB solution? |
|
Answer» http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=1828 I notice that DELL and HP are now selling desktop PCs with 3GB of RAM as a STANDARD configuration (2 1GB sticks and 2 512MB sticks). This is a neat WAY to avoid having to deal with the common question: “Hey, how come I bought this PC with 4GB but I can only see 3GB or thereabouts?” Answers here and here, but it is truly smart to avoid the issue in the first place. And of course it becomes a non-issue in a few years when we achieve x64 Nirvana. All clickable links at the above siteInteresting solution. I read in one of the user POSTS that linked here this will be changed in Vista SP1. Quote With SP1, Windows Vista will report the amount of system memory installed rather than report the amount of system memory available to the OS. Therefore 32-bit systems equipped with 4GB of RAM will report all 4BG in many places throughout the OS, such as the System Control Panel. However, this behavior is dependent on having a compatible BIOS, so not all users may notice this change. |
