Memory trouble
Friday, June 15, 2012 7:28 AM
( permalink)
My computer says i only have 6.96GB availiable from the 8GB installed, any suggestions. Has this anything to do with windows being installed on a SSD, or can i assume it is the 1gb i designated to the cpu gpu

you can turn off prefetch but it really slows windows down if you do

Sort of playing the waiting game until August/September, being broke does not help either.
