I have just switched to Vista x64 from Vista x32. I have 4 gb DDR2 ram and my system information shows this. When I run the DXDIAG and 3D mark vantage they are indicating I only have 2.6gb ram,,,,,,,, I am assuming it is these programmes that are showing the wrong information is this correct
View 7 Repliesi just bought a Toshiba laptop which has 4 GB RAm and 512GB Nvidia dedicated VRAM. When i opened DXDIAG it says that the available virtual memory is 2000+MB. So can i run(not play ,I have a PS3 for gaming ) high-end games or some middle-end games like GTA IV?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Epson Stylus C64 printer which I am able to use as normal (with ink levels and status monitor appearing) on my old computer with Windows XP.
My new laptop is Vista and although I have installed the Epson Stylus Printer Software that came with the printer onto the laptop, the Ink Indicator Levels and the Epson Status Monitor options showing in 'Printer Prefences' seem to be grayed-out/disabled. I am unable to gauge my ink levels so have no idea how much ink I have available and/or when to replace it. The actual printing seems to be fine at the moment but I am unable to tell when the ink requires replacing.
I have tried to re-install the Epson Printer software but nothing seems to change - the ink levels and status monitor contine to be disabled/grayed out. I noticed that when installing the software I am asked to disable any anti-virus software - I have Norton installed but have no idea how to uninstall it - my computer also seems to be automatically provided with something called McAfee Security - again I am unsure how to disable this and whether in fact I need to do this - it may be that the anti-virus programs are hindering the Epson software from fully loading? Any ideas and/or suggestions would be most welcome.
My HDD activity indicator lights up for 20 minutes and even mouse cursor freezes some times. This is because of uTorrent 1.8.3 and video conversion activity I guess. Will increasing of RAM from 2gb to 6gb help? Can I combine 2x1gb 800mhz installed modules with new 2x2gb 1066mhz modules? Page file is on G: HDD already, not C:. Windows Vista is x64.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMemory DiagnosticsIf Vista detects a memory problem in your system such as a faulty RAM module, it will display a notification asking if you want Vista to try to diagnose the problem.Then again you may also recieve the sudden BSOD with the error MEMORY MANAGMENT at the top. You can manually run this tool anytime just typememory in the search box inside the start menu.This tool offers you two options: restarting immediately and checking for problems, or running next time you reboot your machine (the memory diagnostic tool must run at boot time).
Network DiagnosticsWindows Vista also allows you to check the connectivity of your network connection using the Network Diagnostics Framework: An infrastructure and a set of built-in and extensible components that attempts to automatically diagnose and correct network connectivity problems. The usual way to run this check is to open Network Center and click the Diagnose Internet Connection link on the left Vista will either identify ............
Windows Home Premium 32bit. the capacity indicator show the "D" drive to have about 4GB free space out of 10GB. Yet, when I explore the drive, there is nothing there. I had previously been backing up to that drive but deleted those backup files. Yes, i have "view hidden files" turned on and still nothing except for a MediaID.bin file which consumes a whopping 1KB. Have no idea what is using 6GB of D drive space.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had 4GB physical memoryon the PC. With Windows vista 32 bit, available memory is shown as 3.3GB. I asked and was told that only under 64 bit windows, will the available memory be 4GB. When I upgraded to windows 7, I chosed 64 bit, but the available memory shown in the system is still 3.3 GB. Why is this and is there a way to make the full 4GB available? It's possible that my video card is using RAM instead of its own RAM. If I install a video card with its own RAM, will the full 4GB be available?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, I always seem to lose all my free RAM within an hour regardless of system activity, even while idling. I have noticed an svchost.eve process runs each time I reboot which seems to bloat constantly although when I close it down it only frees up about 800MB, what's happening to the rest of my 8GB??? When I launch Task Manager it says I'm only using 10% Memory but free RAM sits at 0?!?!

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to the forums, and VERY new to Vista x64. The machine is new, and I was trying out some apps and games, I was in Secondlife when I got an error messege saying I was out of memory and needed to free up memory. I shut down the app and restarted it. Runs but I watched Task manager and saw my free memory down to almost nothing after an hour or so. The cached seems very high.
I did alittle research and decided to set a second page file on my 1TB hard drive, (OS is on the other HHD's )( regulated by system for size ) I'm not really sure whats going on. Example of just task manager and this page openis attached. Again, any help would be great in getting the memory set up on here optimal.
I have 6gigs of DDR3 memory at 1600hz. Running on Vista 64bit and every now and again my memory performance just maxes out. The problem can occur around the time when I am installing something but I dont think its always this way. I have read forums where it could be the hardrives performing self diagnostics. I have all the latest patches for vista.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm running Vista 64 Home (SP1) Premium on a homebuilt machine w/8GB (4 X 2GB modules). Windows is reporting 8 GB of Installed Physical Memory but is reporting only 4 GB of Total Physical Memory. I first noticed this when, after installing a game, the game system specs said 3092 MB of RAM.
I have checked the BIOS and it recognizes 8 GB. Memory Remapping is Enabled. Under Memory Remapping is "PCI MMIO Allocation: 4GB to 3328 MB" (?). MSConfig Boot Options shows Max Memory is not checked and no value in the box below. I tried enabling it and using 8192 as the value, but it made no difference. DxDiag shows 8 GB installed RAM. how I can get windows to make available all 8 GB of RAM? (Motherboard is ASUS Maximus II Extreme w/Intel Q9550 processor running at Q9650 clock speed, memory running at 1127 MHz
I have Vista Ultimate x64 Extreme, with 8 GB of memory, Q9300, and 2 velociraptors. I do NOT overclock, but would like Vista to use more of the memory. Typical load usage of memory is 2GB - about 25% of my total memory Maximum use of memory was 3GB - I would rather have Vista use memory than to use swap file. How can I get this done?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Vista Enterprise with 2gb of memory.
everytime i try to access a folder on my external hard drive (Toshiba 2.0 USB), it freezes explorer and and error message comes up saying out of memory, but i can't read it all because most of the window is just black.
also, before all of this started my NVidia graphics had a message pop up saying the NVIDIA Display Panel Extension cannot be created.
Possible reasons include:
Version mismatch. Reinstalling display drivers may solve this problem.
i've tried to download drivers but the only place to find them are on lenovo support and they didnt help
I am putting together a new build and since PC-6400 DDR2 is sooo cheap I thought I might consider 8GB on an X38 board. I already have 2x2GB dimms, and was guessing if I went to 8GB it might be nice to have 4 identical DIMMS, which are still available (ie, another 2x2gb of the pair I have now). Anyone have wisdom about this? My main uses NOW are MS Flight Simulator, Gigastudio, and both of those benefit from at least 3GB, beyond that I don't know. I don't forsee video editing.

I just got Vista this april for the first time Vista Ultimate 64 bit to be precise. It came with a new computer that has 4GB of Ram...which I thought would be plenty, but apparently not? Right now I have 4 programs running: Sony Vegas, Zune, Firefox and MS Word. Including all the background tasks like firewalls and all that good stuff, it says I'm using 2.65 GB memory. Ok I still have about 1.4 GB left right? Wrong...I have 12 MB?
2000 MB are cached. Whats up with that? Now Sony Vegas keeps crashing because I dont have enough ram and I cant open Windows media Player because I dont have enough ram....What happened to all my memory?
i have 4 gig of memory on my pc. i reinstall my vista. after the installation, my machine said that i only have 3gig. where is my remaining 1 gb (i put 4gb) on it. before i reinstall it my pc read my 4gb:o of RAM. but now 3gb only.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've spent the last 2 weeks trying to confirm this. With Vista 32bit SP1, is it true that it will not only see the 4 gigs of ram installed, but use all 4 gigs as well? I've had gamers tell me that the OS will show the 4 gigs installed, but that was the only thing Sp1 did. It still can use only around 3.21 gigs.
I've also had system builders say that Vista 32bit SP1 will both show the 4 gigs, and use ALL 4 gigs. Both swear that they are right and the others don't know what they're talking about. I've built a new gaming rig and I have an OEM copy of Vista HP SP1 32 bit, and I want to be sure that I'm not wasting the 4 gigs I have installed, but I can't seem to get a consistent answer from everybody.
only controversy. Even two different MS MVP's gave me two different answers. I'm almost to the point of calling MS tech. support and asking for their best Vista tech. specialist to find out for sure. This is getting ridiculous.
I am currently running both Vista 64 and Vista 32 on two different drives and I notice that when booted, 64 uses almost 1.2 gig of RAM while 32 uses only about 800meg when booted. The only thing I have on 64 that I don't on 32 is iTunes and the Adobe CS3 suite. Is this normal? If so, why does 64 use more memory than 32? I do have superfetch on for both installs - could it be this that is using the extra memory - preloading iTunes/CS3 apps maybe?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a dell xps 600 that originally came with xp pro. 2.8 dual core and 1 gig memory. I was doing a lot of audio multi tracking and wanted to up my memory to help out with some latency problems I was having. the xps600 manual said that the mobo could handle 2 gig on 32bit and 8 gig on 64bit so I upgraded to vista ultimate and installed 8 gig. everything runs great and this solved my latency problems but there is one thing I noticed.
I use a G15 logitech keyboard which has a CPU and RAM monitor built into the LED window on the keyboard. This monitor tells me that I am usually using only 20% of my ram. Even when I am multitasking and using huge files, it never goes above 36% of ram usage. My pagefile is system managed and usually around 8.5gig at idle. Why isn't Vista utilizing more of my ram and is there a tweak
Alright with many games that I'm playing with. There are a few things that are going on that I'm not liking. Yes I know I play Gunz The Duel, and it seems like there is screen lag or something, maybe a delay, not sure what to call it. People were telling me about all the Services that Vista uses slows it down or such like that. Is that true? Or is there another way to fix it. I also play Crysis, and problem with that game, is that it isn't using all of my RAM or memory? It only uses so much, and just leaves the rest alone. Anyway way to make it use more? Also the game supports Dual processors. I have Quad, is there a way to make it use all four of them? Also just with any games, is there a way to just make the games run faster at all without killing the graphic, cause I know my PC can handle the graphics, it just seems like my PC isnt using everything that I put into it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to vista since I got my hp laptop(vista home premium x64)and I've noticed that it tends to eat up some memory. I opened up task manager before and i was using 31% after startup and after I open up a few applications and run for a bit it seems not to go much lower than 35%. Right now the only application I have running is firefox and I'm using 40%. granted there is processes running in the background such as hp stuff, anti-virus, and anti-spyware stuff along with rocketdock. but that stuff is also on after startup. Is vista always eating this much memory up like this for everyone? also, is there anyway to use less?
