1.8GHz Processor or 2.8 Ghz Processor? Intel Pentium 4 on Windows XP?

Hi

I am brand new to this forum so hopefully I write all the information that's needed. I built a computer from behind the times parts and installed Microsoft Windows XP on it. I viewed the system information and this is what it said:

Pentium 4 CPU 2.8 GHz

1.8 GHz

480 Mb of RAM (Another interrogate I have.. Why 480 Mb of RAM when I hold a 512 Mb stick?)

Thank you for your time!

Your onboard video is sharing the 32Mb. If you install a graphics card, you could free up that 32Mb back to system RAM.



Also check your fsb settings. It looks similar to your processor is downclocked to 1.8Ghz or perhaps your motherboard is incapable of the higher fsb ability of the processor.
because the other part of the Memory is person used for your Graphics Part .
Some RAM might be directed or shared for the system in standard. 480 Mb is the free memory your computer is working with, the other 32 Mb are supporting some other factor, such as graphics or sound.



As for the processor, I'm not as sure, but if you bought the dual-core Pentium 4 (otherwise particular as Pentium D), that might explain the two different readings.
You see 480MB of strike because you have 32MBs reserved by your system for your onboard graphics. You are probably seeing merely a 1.8 cpu because you are running 266 ram instead of 400. You system will solely run as fast as your slowest run into so if 1 stick is slower that the rest take it out and you should see your cpu speed run higher.
download cpu-z it will update u also the memory is being eat up by an on-board graphics card
