Hello,
Why does my computer (task manager) show that there is 2 slots of ram and 1 is empty? I have disassembled it to look at the motherboard and there is no ram slots at on the board, the ram is a soldered chip straight onto the motherboard, cpu-z also shows 2 slots available, 1 used and 1 empty, i'm confused now as I wanted to upgrade the memory but not sure if I can with it being soldered to the motherboard and any software I use always shows 2 slots, steam also show 2 slots , I have attached a screenshot of my task manager circled in red to show you what it shows, is this something new could I unlock this empty slot to use? Or is this just a glitch, I can't see why as 3 different programmes report there is 2 slots, 1 is used with 1gb the other is empty... Anyway
Thank you
Matthew
