    hI recently installed an additional 512Mb of ram on my Acer Aspire notebook 3630, already had 256Mb.So I should have 768Mb but all I can see is 704 Mb missing 64Mb, could the memory be faulty or is there be another explanation?have also tried the 512 by it self and it shows only 448Mb

    :confused: thanks Dicky

    dickyknee - Welcome to the Board :)

    The 64 Mb RAM is used by the onboard graphics chip - if you had checked the originally installed 256 Mb would have shown as 192 Mb.
