Little bit of ram missing...
Hey everybody. I'll post my specs first for ease of posting.
Mobo: MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital AMD AM2 Socket AM2 2000 MHz PC2-6400 Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4800+ Socket AM2 RAM: 2 gigs of Kingston HyperX KHX6400D2K2/2G 2GB Kit DDR2-800 PC2-6400 OS: Windows Vista home premium 32-bit It's only recognizing 1920 MB of the RAM. I noticed on the BIOS setup screen that my RAM's speed was set to 667 instead of 800. I don't know how it got there, and I really don't know how to fix it. Any help is appreciated. |

That motherboard has on-board video. On board video "borrows" system RAM to use as video RAM. In this case, it's using 128MB.
2GB = 2048MB 2048MB - 1920MB = 128MB That solves one part of your mystery.

Are you using onboard video? Onboard video takes away from your total RAM.

you can set ram bus speed in your bios. you will have to do more research on it with your specific board in mind. Don't screw with the timings unless you are over clocking.
