| | Missing System Ram and Extra Graphics Card Ram I have 2gb of system ram and am always showing 55%-60% being used by the system even when there are no other processes running - for example; when i first installed vista. However when you look at this: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ro/dxgiag3.jpg youll probably notice the abundance of ram for a Nvidia 7800gt. I have read somewhere it is something to do with the bios, and i know this to be a complete lie cause it never did that on XP. Also as you can see there is nothing else running to use over a GB of v-card ram. So can anyone help me get my ram back? |

| | Re: Missing System Ram and Extra Graphics Card Ram What you see is normal - Vista is using otherwise unused RAM for system and file caching, graphic performance, and so on. Leave well enough alone and your system will perform at its peak levels. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@xxxxxx * NEW!
