Memory in acer laptop

Chronicle · 13 Feb 2007 at 15:01

Hi
I have an acer laptop that came with 512mb of ram. I put in another 512mb and it says i only have 896mb. Under CPU Z, when it lists the individual ram sticks it says both are 512mb though (although doesn't give more detail, like speed etc)

Any ideas?

Anyone?
Here are some screenshots:

Also, apparently this laptop is meant to be 2ghz, just noticed its a bit less... maybe it slows down to save battery? It is a new acer 5051

128 MB being used for your GFX card processing!

Oh right.

I don't play games, only use photoshop and Firefox really on it, so if i make it only use 64mb in the bios for the graphics card will i notice any difference?
