Memory issue? (paging Shady)

**Tide** · 05-19-2009, 07:42 AM

On the opening splash screen on powerup (where it shows your bios version, amount of memory, proc speed, etc), I noticed it's showing less available memory than total memory by something like 1100 kb. I've run memtest95, prime95, and a couple of other memory test programs and everything seems to be running fine.

Should I be worried about this or not? I'll get the exact numbers when I get home, just mildly curious.

no worries at all..look through your bios

there are a few features that use ram in your bios..the biggest culprit is video bios shadowing ..its a dated feature that does not need to exist and does not need to be enabled ..and with you only a little low i would expect that is your issue
