registry cleaner is better than system restore it clean all your registry and don't delete your other program. but if you want to restore your computer in the first installed date it's better to use system restore. 504mb means your built in video adapter was 8 mb this is use by your video card to work. Try to open your computer and get the memory if it has two slot it was SDRAM and if it has one slot it was DDR.

8 mb ram is being used up for ur graphics.. u mite not hav a graphics card on ur pc.. so its using 8 mb as graphics memory…

to check what kind of ram u have, plug out the ram physically and see the number of cuts on it..

A registry cleaner is not a necessarily a registry backup program. A cleaner goes into the registry and "cleans" out any unused links, pointers, etc. It can, depending on how it was written, do both functions, that is clean and back up.
A backup does just that, backs up the registry files. That is what system restore does, it backs up your registry and will allow you to restore it.

System restore is an XP or Vista system software that will automatically/manually backup you registry. This is useful if you install some software and your system has problems, you can go into system restore and pull out the last registry backup. It allows you to also manually backup your registry. It has NO clean up function.

you don’t need to open your pc to find out the kind of ram you have, just go to http://www.crucial.com and let it scan your system. it will tell you what you have, what your upgrade options are, and a retail online price for the upgrades possible. you can use this info then to shop for better prices locally.

system restore and registry cleaners do different things really. registry cleaners get rid of entries it deems no longer useful, ‘orphans’, etc. system restore returns your windows environment to the way it was on a previous date, including the registry, device drives, etc., but *not* including restoration of emails or deleted files.

ps if you have 512 ram installed and the system is reporting 504, the difference is in use by the video card – "shared ram".

You will need to take your cover off your computer to find out what kind of ram it has, and to put it in. Registry cleaner would be better because System restore, it may delete some stuff you don't want deleted.
