I was trying to turn off some processes but nothing they switching on again and only use 180MB. I need to know whwre is another 400MB of memory gone....? This is really strange

Re: Ram question

You are probably using high density modules which are only supported by a few chipsets including sis and via, and don't include any Asus boards or any Intel chipsets. This is a common problem when buying high density cheap ram.
