im using win2k. When i check how much ram i have, how come it gives me the long number instead of just saying 256?

[roncarter]

plz help.. i know its something small but it bugs me. I want it to say 256 ram.. not the 6 digit one. In xp, it said 256..

I suspect it is just giving you an exact (6-digit) measure. I don't think 128 or 256 or how ever much RAM you have even comes out as a simple number.

Win2k reads your memory in KB instead of MB.

Whats the problem?

I doubt you can change it, maybe a reg. key or something, but I wouldn't let it bother me. You still have 256MB of ram.

This utility can (among other things) display total RAM, and available RAM stats right on your desktop...

And yes, it displays in MB (the small number), not KB

how about you only read the first 3 digits? is this really that big of an issue? come on, 3 digits that you just have to -not look at-.....if it's 143920, then just read the 143.
