Memory

 

 

 

 

 

Memory slots1GB, 2GB or 4GB memory modules can be

 

 

installed in the computer's two memory slots for a

 

 

maximum of 8,192MB system memory.

 

 

This computer can be equipped with memory

 

 

modules of a maximum size of 8,192MB. The

 

 

actual amount of useable system memory will be

 

 

less than the installed memory modules.

The amount of Video RAM can be verified by

 

 

clicking the Advanced settings button in the

 

 

Display Settings window.

 

 

The amount of Total Available Graphics memory

 

 

will vary be between 1 and 2 MB depending upon

 

 

system configuration.

 

 

 

If your computer is configured with more than 3 GB memory, the memory might be displayed as approximately 3 GB only (depending on the computer’s hardware specifications).

This is correct because the operating system usually displays the available memory instead of the physical memory (RAM) built into the computer.

Various system components (like the video adapter’s GPU and PCI devices like Wireless LAN, etc.) require their own memory space. Since a 32-bit operating system cannot address more than 4 GB of memory, these system resources overlap the physical memory. It is a technical limitation that the overlapped memory is not available to the operating system. Even though some tools might display the actual physical memory built into your computer, the memory available to the operating system will still be approximately 3 GB only.
