some memory sticks are not really what they say , they can be off by a few mbs ,<br />
but i really never seen lose 16mbs,<br />
<br />
does this number also appear , when you reboot , and see the ram test counting the ram<br />
if so then that what the sticks hold.

Yes. Onboard video usually shares ram. There should be a setting in the BIOS to adjust this size.<br />
<br />
I don't know why Linux is using 8megs more either, other than what MikProg said.

If it's an onboard video card, it can tend to share the ram you have. Also, memory tends to not be exactly what is stated.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I recently bought a computer. It has a 256 MB DDR &nbsp;ram (128 mb in two slots). <br />
But Linux and windows shows it as 240MB(Windows) and 232MB(Linux). When I asked my local vendor about &nbsp;it, he said that rest of memory is used as VGA memory.<br />
The mother board is Intel 865GBF Which has inbuilt AGP.<br />
<br />
Is he correct?<br />
But according to what i have studied The VGA memory must be in the VGA card. It cannot be in RAM.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Actual Size of RAM.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
