Memory slots

1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB memory modules can be

installed in the computer's two memory slots for a

maximum of 8 GB system memory.
This computer can be equipped with memory

modules of a maximum size of 8 GB. The actual

amount of useable system memory will be less

than the installed memory modules.

Video RAM

The memory in a computer's graphics adaptor,

used to store the image displayed on a bitmap

display.
The amount of Video RAM available is

dependent on the computer's system memory.
Start -> Control Panel -> Appearance and

Personalization -> Display -> Adjust

resolution.
The amount of Video RAM can be verified by

clicking the Advanced Settings button in the

Screen Resolution window.

If your computer is configured with more than 3 GB memory, the memory

might be displayed as approximately 3 GB only (depending on the

computer’s hardware specifications).
This is correct because the operating system usually displays the available

memory instead of the physical memory (RAM) built into the computer.
Various system components (like the video adapter’s GPU and PCI

devices like Wireless LAN, etc.) require their own memory space. Since a

32-bit operating system cannot address more than 4 GB of memory, these

system resources overlap the physical memory. It is a technical limitation

that the overlapped memory is not available to the operating system. Even

though some tools might display the actual physical memory built into your

computer, the memory available to the operating system will still be

approximately 3 GB only.
Computers configured with a 64-bit operating system can address 4 GB or

more of system memory.
