All I know is what I've produced in this thread. I can tell you that I
have 4GB of memory installed on my XP machine and that I have a 256MB
video card installed in my machine and the motherboard sees all four of
the 1GB memory sticks and the video card but when I open Control Panel
and double click on the System icon, under System Properties, the
General tab, my XP only sees 3.25GB of RAM.
While I was tech sup****ting some other problem, I did pull out one
memory stick (1GB) and then Windows saw 3GB of RAM. I checked because I
was curious.
I'm certainly no memory expert and I'm not trying to challenge anybody.
It's really pretty moot to me now since I've built the computer and it
works and CS3 works and it's faster than it was on my old XP machine
with 2GB of RAM and a single core processor.
