Administrator Lite Posted August 14, 2005 Administrator Share Posted August 14, 2005 I assume you had a 200GB hard drive. It will show up ~180GB, this is correct. It's something to do with bits/ bytes etc and binary measure.Your memory, is prolly being used by a shared graphics card (ie one built into your motherboard). Both seem reasonable.

Broke As Hell Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I think it has something to do with the operating system. Maybe it took into account for the files it uses for the OS to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tensegg Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 your system will have 1024mb and 200gb, its just not all available to you once all the bits are installed to make your system work, so now its reporting what you have available to use, minus what has been used up already to make it a PC.I think ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silent™ Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I was worried they were ripping me off. I got an engineer to change the motherboard free today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
