Post subject: M2N Memory Question
Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>mainboard>asus (more info?)

I have a plain M2N motherboard, with 6 gigabytes of memory (64 bit XP!).
POSt goes through a memory check that pauses at 3072 megs (not
surprising), but then it counts up to 7168 before settling back to the
actual 6144.

Does anyone know why it would do that?

TIA

I installed 6G RAM to my M2N-E, but the BIOS and hence 64-bit Vi$ta
reports only 5.6G. Some said it's the video RAM remap.

?Video RAM remap? XP itself reports 6.0G of RAM. The Video card is a
Radeon XT1800 with 512 Megs.

What motherboard and CPU are you using? You talking about 64-bit XP?

That would be a plain-vanilla M2N, with an AMD thlon 64x2 Dual Core
processor at 3800 Mhz. OS is 64 bit XP.
