Hello,
When I built this machine I put 2 - 2Gb dual channel chips. The CPU usage gadget shows that I have 2812 GBs of memory. CPUID shows that I have 4 GB. Might some kind member give me a quick explanation. Doesn't need to be in depth. Thanks!

Hello Runcle,
Thank you for stepping up to bat. I have installed and uninstalled this same gadget in at least 4 versions and it is always the same. Plus no matter pretty much how many normal apps I running, it rarely goes above 60% usage.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Have you tried another gadget? Perhaps this one is faulty?

Hello Golden,
I must admit to no, this is the only one I have used, I use the Network Meter and sometimes the drive meter from the same source. Let me look into it, thanks for the idea. So 4 GBs set up as Dual Channel should still show as 4 Gbs?

Mmm... good point. Perhaps that is where the gadget falls over, but then surely CPUID should suffer from the same issue.....or not?

i swear by this program to check your ram its rammon by pasmark :ar: PassMark RAMMon - Identify RAM type, speed & memory timings

RAMMon is an easy to use Windows based application that allows users to quickly retrieve the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data from their RAM modules. It will allow users to identify a multitude of attributes, of which, includes the manufacturer, the clockspeed and other data of their DDR2, DDR3, XMP and EPP memory devices and even some older memory types. It uses SysInfo DLL SDK to gather the SPD attributes from RAM devices. This information provides a snapshot of the available data for each RAM module installed on the system.

Hello to All,
I would like to thank you for your input, in reference to the OS it is 64-bit. I believe CPUID much more than I do the gadget. Just wondering if it was because of the dual channel setup.

Hey brianzion,
Haven't downloaded it as yet. Wan't to try to find a gadget that worked correctly the first four either didn't show the memory, only showed percentage of memory used or showed the same incorrect value as the one I am using now. CPUID is good for my use. I am just not up to date on memory schemes, last computer didn't have dual channel. May give RAMMON a try. Will holler if I can use your assistance, thanks.

For Brianzion - Just a quick question on rammon. I downloaded it to see what it said about my system. Comparing your screenshot with the info provided on my computer I noticed a difference in physical memory. My total phyical memory is 3070MB (4096MB), total available physical memory 2044MB and memory load 33%. What I noticed was that your total physical memory numbers were both almost the same and was wondering why the difference I noticed in mine. No problems with my computer, it does all I want it to, just curious.

if you type resmon in the start menu search box and click on resmon in the result pane you will get resource monitor up on the desktop and you can see where windows has allocated your ram etc just like my snapshot in this post. as you can see in rammon snapshot the figure has gone up because i am not using so much load on the memory.

O.K. Now you guys (using in the non-sexist way), are getting me crazy. I am in unfamiliar territory and definitely over my head.
Here is a snippet from resmon taken just now...


Capture.PNG

Sorry but I can't follow how it says I have 4096 MB Installed and the same value as the gadget, 2812 MB Total. Can anyone explain that in moderately easy terms??
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your answer. Resmon did show where it is being used. Mine shows hardware reserve of 1026, then the total 3070 (in use 1026, modified 35, stand by 1973 and free 20) which then adds up to the total physical memory. I'm guessing that the hardware reserve is probably additional memory for the video card.
