Amount of RAM under win 64

#1 Post by Oren » Thu Apr 10, 2008 8:49 pm

Hi,
I have noticed something odd...

I have 4 GB of RAM installed but somehow windows recognize only 4022 MB instead of 4096.
74 MB are missing.... (Maybe shared with video?)

One more thing, i have the 1GB turbo memory thing, but under Disk management windows create a volume (NVCACHE) of only 512 MB...


I have X61 s with Vista 64 BIT.

any ideas?

it's just a windows calculation error for the RAM. Install SP1 and you'll see it states all 4GB there and accounted for.

Now for turbo memory, you probably have only 1/2 of it enabled in the software. 512 for readyboost and 512 for readydrive?

SP1 did fix the RAM issue.

How can i go to the configuration of the Turbo Memory?

I want to check why it's only 512MB....


Thanks in advance...
