RE: Update System RAM display

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

My PC is a Toshiba Satellite A100-VA1.

I hope this is what you were asking for. When my computer boots up I have
an option to press F2 for system utilities. It says:

System Memory 633 KB
Extended Memory 915456 KB

In reply to the other poster's question, I did not have SP1 but did install
it. Upon installing SP1 I now see 1.00 GB in Control Panel>System, but am
still missing 1.00 GB.

Thanks to you both for your assistance.

hi

first check bios boot screen, this screen is displayed at first boot, it
displays
installed memory, hdd's, ect

when you see this screen press the "Pause/Break" keyboard button to freeze
the screen so to view installed ram.

if this screen is not shown but a logo screen is shown instead
you will have to enter into cmos settings and disable logo screen

i would include steps here, but i notice that you have not included
the manufacturer of the laptop!

regards

I purchased a laptop with Vista Home Basic that had only 894 MB RAM. (Two
slots with 512 MB sticks). I have lots of speed issues and was told by
someone that this was not enough RAM to operate Vista. My laptop maximum it
2 GB so I swapped out the two 512 MB sticks for two 1 GB sticks.

Under Control Panel>System, it is still only displaying 894 MB RAM. How do
I get this to display the upgraded RAM?
