This bios should tell you the type of ram too. Check the manual or the manufacturer's website.

if you want a full inventory of hardware and software in a computer use the belarc advisor
a very cool free software tool.

i agree. u probably use 16 meg for ur onboard video, as for ram, get sisoft sandra, that prog may well tell u what memory u are usinga nd what th mb can take, even if it doesn't it will give you your mb details and u can contact the manufacturor

I just got it and its telling me that the info for RAM is in BIOs and I don't know the crap in BIOs worth crap or anything about RAM

So I went into BIOs and all I could figure out was in Advanced Chipset area theres the AGP Slot stuff for my Vid card and then theres another thing there about SD Cache and stuff..Does that mean I have SDram? I really don't know.

It's tough to say. Maybe some screen captures would help us out.

i think memory is reserved by the AGP slot, i read it somewhere, i think something like that.

basically its normal, if you're not sure try finding a technical website, they might know more
