RAM being displayed is lesser than the actual in my Windows 7
- by Prateek Somani
I am using Windows 7 and Ubuntu on the same machine.
Earlier I had 3 GB of RAM,but now the Windows is displaying just 1 GB of RAM.
Please also find the output of the free command in my Ubuntu :
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1008208 904808 103400 5736 13516 239596
-/+ buffers/cache: 651696 356512
Swap: 3127292 10252 3117040
Has the swap memory consumed my 2 GB of RAM? Will I be able to use the whole of 3GB of the RAM in my Windows?
Regards,
Prateek
Update :
I tried to run the lshw command and I got the following output :
*-memory

*-bank:0

Why it is able to detect the vendor/product name of the bank-1 RAM, why can't it detect the RAM size and other details ? Has my RAM got faulty?
