im1knight Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 i brought a new labtop yesterday from circuit city, and when i got home, boost the computer up, i see it shows 960 ram in system info instead of 1024 ram. im about to swap for a new 1..but im really lazy to wait 3 hours in the line again. can any1 tell me does those 64 digit of ram makes a big difference? or they r almost the same. and how much does 1024 ram worth and how much does 960 ram worth. or perhaps its just the way it display like the way Hard drive amount that shows on the computer is always less than it says?

nvw08 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Chances are that ram is being used to an Integrated Graphics card, meaning you do have 1gb of ram but some is being used for other things. If you take it back their just going to tell you there's nothing wrong, because there isint.

Cruiser Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Nvw got it. That 64mb will be used by the graphics system for the display. You can general find a setting in the BIOS to change the amount of memory allocated to video from 64 to 32 or 16 and so on. Losing 64mb out of a gig isn't all that much though and isn't anything to worry about. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomster Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Percentage-wise, I wouldn't bother lowering it, though the performance of onboard graphics rarely justifies giving it more than 32MB. Where a 256MB system loses 64MB to onboard graphics (and YES, I have seen them set that way), lowering the graphics RAM allocation is definitely worthwhile.

vmser Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Well, you can be safe to assume they are not going to put in 960 to be cheaper then 1024... for 960 youd need: 512 + 256 + 128 + 64 = 4 cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
