Ram doesn't come in 288MB chips. Ram comes in 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc. Yet every where I look the rhodium is advertised as 288MB of ram without an explination as to the weird number
I'm going to guess 256+32=288. But, I don't know enough about the circuit board to tell you if they used two chips or not.

Hey guy's I recently purchased a 8 GB MicroSD card and I got it in the mail today, so before putting it in my phone I put it on my computer and it doesn't read 8 GB it reads 7.59 GB. Why is this?
Capactities will never be exact. That is true of flash drives, hard drives etc. My iPod is theoretically 80GB but is actually only 76. Annoying...but that's just how it is
http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/hddsize.php
same thing really it's been the case for eons
sd cards
well they are true about how they always vary in capacity for posted size but for hardrives it usually actually is withing a couple percent, where as flash being very unstable memory can come with no memory lol, but also some of the memory is take up by foratting the device to work with operating systems and able to hold files and everything
That's because drive manufacturers measure like this:
1MB = 1000KB
1GB = 1000MB
And operating systems measure like this (the correct way):
1MB = 1024KB
1GB = 1024MB
So the card you bought has 8,000,000KB. The manufacturer claims that's 8GB. Windows sees it as...
8,000,000KB / 1024KB per MB /1024MB per GB = 7.629GB
Then a little bit of space is used for formatting, which leaves us with 7.59GB.
yeap!!

Must of user needs to know how sizes arent exacts! just think about why it arent memoryes for 200MB over 256 or 32 not 30MB
I purchased the desire for the high spec, question
how much memory should you have free for programs .. ive done a hard reset and only have around 130mb of program memory free
when you read the spec its
ROM: 512 MB
RAM: 576 MB
where is the rest of the space ???
anyone got higher program memory ??? can this be changed ??
mind you i still have 40+ mb left with shed loads of programs but would like higher
superb phone though
Last many time but anybody and couldn't activate 32Мб RAM which locked in our devices. Why? If we had these 32Мб then it would be possible to use Sense 2,5 and windows 6,5. It is assured to that developer which will unlock RAM the people it will be grateful and will sacrifice some money
The reason that you cannot use all the ram is that 32mb is reserved for the graphics chip.
Edit: Sorry, etoy is right, my mistake, it is 64mb for the graphics chip

32 mb for a graphic chip, on a mobile device, is a lot
Maybe it would be nice to reduce this to 24mb or 16mb
i'm just guessing i don't really know if my suggestion makes sense, and if it's possible
from what i read from htc diamond details:
"Dedicated graphics chip (64MB RAM reserved for graphics)"
does the chip have its own 64 MB RAM or is it taken from the 192 MB RAM
HTC Touch Diamon have 256MB Ram (64 reserved for GFX) 192+64=256 same memory as HTC Touch Diamond CDMA P3051 have 256 ram and 256 rom (not gfx acceleration no 64mb reserved).
if 64Mb reserved for GFX, why we have not 32Mb RAM? can we resize memory for GFX?
after that you will buy another diamond!
Look here
Don't you think it would have been done already if it was a good idea or even possible? We are on the brink of getting android to work albeit with a 900(Meh) battery.
Even beter than the installed ROM in memory phone, rom be installed in internal storage (4GB) then it would be given a lot of free memory.
on a thread i saw that desire z has 372 usable ram, but why on my desire z only got 367?

Desire Z has 512 ram. "Usable ram" may vary by a few megabytes but it's usually somewhere between 365 - 375.
Basically, you have 512. Then 128MB RAM is reserved for the GPU (think of it like on a PC, in the BIOS, you can allocate 32, 64, 128, 256 RAM to GPU). That leaves you with 384. Then some RAM is allocated to other things for the system such as radio and such and whatever is leftover is "usable RAM" which is basically for the OS and apps and such.
I just checked mine and I also have 367 "usable RAM".

so the only usable ram is 367 ?

Short answer - yes.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I have the Galaxy S3 SGH-L710 (Virgin Mobile)
I used the CPU-Z app to view the hardware info.
CPU-Z reported that my Ram memory is 1.57 GB (1579 MB)
This model phone is suppose to have 2 GB of memory.
Just wandering if it's an indication of bad memory, or a software glitch or if it's something else.
Can anyone with same model post here and let me know what you get.
See if you have same reading as me. Thanks.
I believe some RAM is allocated to system files on boot so that the phone can start up. Also, the amount of physical space on a chip is different than the space a system can use. For instance any flash drive you get that is advertised as having 16 GB of space, actually has about ~14-15 GB, because they say that it has 1.6 billion bytes (or whatever the number is), but there are 1024 kb in 1 MB, and 1024 MB in 1 GB, plus the space needed for driver files lowers the total amount of space available to what you see. So all of that is probably what amounts to what you're seeing, I'm not an expert nor am I a developer, but I've looked into these things a bit.
Plus, you could just google search "why is my phone's ram less than it's supposed to be" and get a clearer answer!
Thanks for your response. That explains things.
