I haven't taken it apart, but I doubt there's a stick of 128 in the computer because that would mean there's a 512, a 256, & only 1 of 2 128's inside. Doesn't make sense does it?
Surely there's 2 sticks of 512 inside. It's the Dell Inspiron 1501 from only a month ago, but I couldn't find any detailed info about how many slots are inside.
I installed Vista a week ago on my Toshiba p25-s507 and it says there's a Gig installed, so I know something isn't right with hers.

Awesome. I KNEW it had to be SOMETHING since it was an even 128mb. It was the video card!
P.S. It's not a memory leak or the system restore that your BF told you about as I have those turned off and just do backups with something else.

The memory count on the is Dell accurate what happens is that when the computer doesn't have a separate video card with its on memory on it ,the embedded video circuit on the motherboard will reserve some of the memory for its own use.

It's very simple. Your friend's Dell has 1 GB of RAM but Vista can't never use it fully because the Dell laptop also has an Integrated graphic card (bad) -- meaning that the system memory is shared between the OS and the Video card.

you'll never have all the memory available to use. there are parts of the memory that is allocated for it's use, thus leaving you with less than what is stated. if you have a pc tools software that allows you to defrag the memory, then use it to free up some extra space.
