RAM Upgrade

[Grandecom News]

have Windows Vista Premium on a Dell 1501 Inspiron.

I replaced X2 512 Ram with X2 1024 Ram.

The system Bios reports:

633 System
1964032 Extended

Bios Version 2.1.0

Windows Vista still reports memory as being 895. (ATI Radeon Xpress Video
Hyper memory takes up 319).

How do I fix this?

819 being free? Windows uses your free memory to populate it with Superfetch
information, speeding up your system. If you open a program that needs that
information, it will free that RAM and use it for the program that needs it.

Try this:

Type MSCONFIG in the "start search"

Click the BOOT tab

Click the ADVANCED button

Uncheck the box that says "Maximum Memory" no need to set it just uncheck
it.

Reboot and you should now see all your memory.
