Not Seeing All the Ram?

[gwagdesigns]

I was lookign at the running applications in the settings and noticed at the bottom 161MB used, and 346MB free, does it not reflect the 1gig of ram this tablet has?

Android does not always show all of the RAM that is taken up by the OS itself. What you are seeing is based on what is left AFTER deducting for the OS.

Oddly enough mine always adds to (nearly) 512.

 

[pbrauer]

do you have 512 or 1 Gb?

Both.

Settings / About Tablet / Device Info says one Gig Ram.

Maybe they limit ram usage to 512 to get better performance by using the rest for swap or buffers.
