my computer ram

[mini_2003]

my friend has an intel 865glcl mobo, and he has 4x512 Kingston rams, and in the my computer thing, it shows up as 1.98 GB, instead of 2.00. GB, while the same RAM shows up as 2.00 GB on mine. in his bios, it shows 2048 MB, and this is really irritating.

why is this and how can it be fixed

So what is the problem... Windows sees 1024MB to every gigabyte while designers see 1000MBs to every Gigabyte, pain isnt it? Same thing with clock rates... A 2.2GHz processor is really only 2.18 in Windows... OS's are gay that way, but its doesnt matter, you have 2GB, it will use it as such, I wouldn't be freaked out about it.

If the cache bios in ram is selected in your bios, then your useing up ram there. But its better to have that turned on.
