Perhaps the "a bit over 3gb" is all I get for usable ram due to the onboard video. I have no idea how much that takes up -- there is a setting in the bios for it and I just set it to use the maximum because I have a 22" wide-screen monitor and figured it could use all it can get. Great thought. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
