In My Computer, my installed memory reads 8GB (2x4GB). However in brackets next to this it says '7.69 GB usable.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Just worried I'm being had out of some resources perhaps? I read somewhere (can't quite remember where) that there may be a way to get rid of the information in these brackets.

Thanks

Thanks guys, always good to hear.

I have since been tempted by a 7870 though! There's not too much of a difference in price. We'll see. I'm not fussed about it just yet anyway.
 
i beleive the 7870 is meant to be a 7950 with a gig less vram, or something along those lines. if you can get it cheap then good on ye

I'm not after anything particularly fast or top-end. I'd like a nice quiet card which can handle 1080p gaming. That's about it.

I'll check out some reviews and go from there. *heads on over to the 'Deals of the Week' section :cool:
