Why is the Task Manager Total Physical Memory not 2048 MB or 2 GB
- by Dorothy
I found 3 numbers for the Total Physical Memory:
In the Task Manager under the Performance tab: 1978 MB
In Computer Properties: 2 GB
And running wmic computersystem get TotalPhysicalMemory /format:list in the command line: 2074554368 Bites
Number 1 matches Number 3 except Number 1 is rounded. When I convert Number 3 to GB 2074554368 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 I don't quite get 2 GB. I get 1.93207932 GB.
Why does Number 1 and Number 3 not match Number 2?
