shift to:



Control Panel > Performance and Maintainence (if you dont see this disregard it) > System



whatever the porthole says underneath ram is how much your computer have
256mb of what? It all depends. It seem like you are conversation about RAM, so you should believe the 256 because near RAM it goes, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048. There is no 704.
the 256 is the amount of Ram and the 704 is your processer speed. right click my computer and it should show 256mb of strike.
If this is a second hand computer the previous owner might own added extra memory, hence why the sticker might be off.



Also, it might be possible the sticker is proverb the 'video memory' ram your video card have, while the system properties window other gives you the typical ram memory numbers.



The most fool-proof method of finding out how much ram is installed is any phisically openning the computer and looking at the ram sticks, or scarcely reading the screen while your computer is booting, as it other gives you the push value contained by kb (1gb = 1024mb = 1048576kb).



If you do get 1048576 as the number, while the system properties window reports only 704, it any means your system is configured to run beside 704mb ram (start -> run -> msconfig -> boot.ini -> advanced option -> MAXMEM), or, your computer is using an integrated video card on the motherboard (shared video) and is using a part of your hit for the video (1024 - 704 = 320mb for video).



In your case, i'm suspecting this is a second foot computer with 1gb of knock against, of which 320mb are allocated for the video card.
