Please log in for more thread options I think what is confusing though is my PC says I have a 200G hard drive and
shows me how much is already taken up by the OEM when I first fire it up.
Same with memory, It says I have 1G, but notes how much is already used up
by whatever is using it. That's how WM2003 reported it. I had 64M of RAM
displayed, divided up, and parts of each had used and free numbers.

>> Hi
>>
>> I recently purchased a Dell X51v (Windows Mobile 5.0). It is supposed to
>> have 256mb ROM and 64mb of RAM. Why does the system only report it as
>> having 195.01mb of ROM and 49.47mb RAM?
>>
>> Under - Settings - Memory - the system reports:
>>
>> Storage Program
>> Total: 195.01 MB Total: 49.47 MB
>> In use: 11.73 MB In use: 23.93 MB
>> Free: 183 MB Free: 25.55 MB
>>
>> Does it REALLY have 256 MB of ROM and 65 MB of RAM? I am very new to the
>> PocketPC world.
>>
>> Thanks in advance
