Got Enough
Memory? Bet
You'll Need
More!
Windows Vista
and today's
software
applications
make much
greater demands
on your system's
memory. Adding
peripherals,
like webcams,
USB hard drives,
and complex
Internet pages,
all take memory.
Watching DVD
movies, or
watching videos
on the web, or
playing PC based
games demand
increased
memory. So take
full advantage
of your system's
potential, your
operating
system's
enhancement and
entertainment
capabilities,
and your
software's
productivity by
expanding your
system memory!
The best time to
add more memory
is when you buy
your system! Get
the memory
that's right for
your computer,
whether laptop,
desktop, or
All-In-One. |

Shared
Memory? Or Where
Did My Memory
Go?
Your computer
uses memory to
run your
Operating
System,
applications,
peripherals, and
to generate and
display graphics
on your computer
monitor. Video
memory is a form
of RAM, and is
either built
into your
motherboard; or
on a graphics
card (video
card). Depending
on the
motherboard's
configuration,
and that of the
video card (if
separate or
built-in to the
motherboard),
your computer
may have to draw
on its own RAM
memory to meet
its video memory
needs. This
creates shared
memory, where
your computer’s
RAM will be
shared between
its own
Processor (CPU)
and its graphics
chip.
The result is
that some
systems will
have shared
memory, some
will not. If you
have 2GB (for
example) of
system memory
installed, you
may notice that
your system
reports
significantly
less memory.
This is because
your system is
using shared
memory for your
video.
What can you
do about this?
You can actually
configure this
shared memory
through your
computer’s BIOS
settings.
However, this is
a setting best
left alone,
since it is
typically
optimized for
display
performance, and
making changes
may impact
display
resolutions, and
other video
capabilities.
The simplest
solution is
usually to
either: increase
your system
memory; or to
upgrade the
video hardware.
By upgrading to
a new video card
with built-in
video memory,
then turning off
shared memory,
you will free
your system to
use it's maximum
potential
memory, and
provide your
system with much
more robust
video features. |

How Much
Memory Do You
Really Have?
When you look at
the
specifications
for a computer,
it will display
the installed
memory, and
typically the
maximum memory
that can be
installed.
However, while
these are real
values, they
represent a
potential
useable memory.
The actual
useable memory
may be different
from these
values. The
reason is simply
that a computer
may configured
to use shared
memory, which
reduces the
amount of RAM
that is
available to the
CPU by using
some of it for
other purposes,
such as for
video memory. In
some cases, you
can control the
maximum useable
memory through
system settings,
and by upgrading
to a video card
that has
internal onboard
video memory.
But always
remember, that
the amount of
memory that your
system reports,
is not always
the amount of
actual installed
memory. If you
find that you
need more
memory, we
suggest
expanding your
system memory,
since this is
the most
effective
performance
increase, and
the one that is
easiest to
perform . |
