Doesn't the amount of internal storage available effect the amount of ram available? In other words, if I remove a ton of stuff to free up space will that increase my available ram?
What is the minimum amount of ram for high quadrant score performance? I ran quandruant with 168 available ram and get 1080 with everystock dio7 except custokm recover and mixedup overclock latest kernal. I'm getting 9.68 for best linpack score.
I wonder if scores would change if I had 120 free ram. I am curious as to that cut off point where ram amount effects scores.

I ran twice at the following ram levels:
- 970 quadrant with 115 mb ram free.
- 998 quadrant with 130 mb ram free.
- 1006 quadrant with 145mb ram free.
- 998 quadrant with 150mb ram free. Ran 3 times!
- 999 quadrant with 163 mb free.
Seems to me there is zero performance difference between 120 and 170mb of ram from all my tests.

removing programs gives you back internal storage and does not give you more ram "unless" you are removing programs that are running in the background which take up ram then you will gets some ram back and also internal storage.
ram is just a storage for programs to excess when running and after fixed allocation the epic has left over 325.
internal storage the epic has 512 to play with.
two different things

I want to know that the total ram showed in settings=>applications=>manage applications=>running applications. My retail version showing 420mb free plus 173mb used ram total 593mb ram on the system instead of 1gb. Can someone plz check in their tabs either retail or io version plz. Thanks
I would guess a significant portion of your "missing" RAM is set aside for the GPU. The ended up being the case for the Galaxy S phones - 512mb RAM, but only 330 available for the OS and apps.
Still, 600mb is a pretty respectable amount for these devices.
My Xoom shows 120MB used and 379MB free. So the total amount shown seems normal. I would like to know why there is so little free memory on GT10.1 if it's a stock Honeycomb?
It's currently 169 / 412 MB on my GT, so I guess about 400 MB is set aside for Graphic processing.
Reboot your GT 10.1 and then report here the RAM statistic ... *please*.
After boot my 10.1 I/O shows 143MB used and 476MB free.

true, considering the ipad manages to run smoothly with just 500mb
after reboot tab showing 169 used and 449 free. Running stock honeycomb 3.1 retail version tab.
I've got 148 used and 412 free
I second all of the above. Mine is usually around 600 MB or less in total. So I guess that's normal? It wouldn't have anything to do with the tab showing hiccups and lags after using it a little bit? Everything was very fast when I used it for the first day and then it started slowing down, especially when I run live wallpapers. Did any of you experience that? It breaks my heart to admit that iPad2 (even iPad) runs so much more smoothly than my Galaxy.
Wat is the Ram memory in ideos?????

I have the bestbuy version 104 I think, two cameras but with resistive touch screen and I see through quadrant it has 416mb of RAM and some other system info program
Sent from my IDEOS S7 using XDA App
does 416mb include swap and cache? i thought it was more like 256meg ram, 128 swap, 32 meg cache = 416
It doesn't have swap; it doesn't need it. It has 512mb ram with some of it allocated by the system for low-level functions like the radio, GPU framebuffer, camera firmware and such.
So where is the rest? U8800 has 512 mb. With barely nothing running... most tasks killed I have only 140 mb free to use so most games just crash. Running aurora rom.
I remember.
The system uses a lot of ram but 140mb sounds kind of low.
The rest is reserved for the GPU.
I have u8800, not pro. Using legorom gingerbread. device is only showing 345MB of ram. Doesn't it has 512 MB ram
Because a lot of memory RAM consumes system, graphics,...
Not free memory. Total RAM 345 MB.
The one used by graphics isn't shown in running application??
Edit:- Did some search and the reserved ram is not shown in running services. Thanx
Thats normal if you buy a 8gb flashdrive you only have 7.7gb and if you have a 250gb hdd you can only use 230gb

Yes, it always happen. In specification sheet of external hard disk or flash drive. 1GB is treated as 1000MB(mine does) not 1024MB(actual size)
My phone also have 512mb ram and I installed 32mb ram hack. My phone is LG Optimus 2x speed

The real reason is that graphics takes 128MB for itself. Then, the kernel needs some memory for the display itself (the pixels) and for video decoder/encoder.
So in total you will have about ~350MB of usable RAM for apps (including Android).
I'm only getting 1.58 GB and after the reboot my ram usage is like 1.31/1.58. I know it's 2GB device. So the question is why only 1.58gb can be used and how to increase it to 2.0gb? Anyone?
Cause probably the rest of the ram is used by core (not Android os) and hardware
Mine is 1.82 GB. Which is normal due to the conversion discrepancy between MB/GB.
1.82 or 1.72. Can't remember and don't want to look right now
The only way to increase it is by using swap. Either with an app like the rhoesoft ram expander (I think thats how it's wrote), or with a rom feature. But the ram you get with swap is not as fast as real ram. It will also degrade the life of the storage in that it is being stored. You can google more info about swap.
Are you sure you're reading it right? I usually have 1.2 GB ram free.
If you have 1.31 from 1.58 free then maybe you should consider uninstalling some apps. Cuz that's an unusual lot of ram usage

2000/1024 isn't 1.82. And I don't know why mine shows 1.5. That's a 300 missing. I'm on 4.4 tw.
It's just like HDD's. You buy one with 500 GB storage and when you set it up it shows only 480 GB or so.
And yes, samsung kinda ripped us off. 9 GB of internal storage is not 16! and 1.82 GB ram is not 2 GB! It's basically false advertisement what they are doing..
