192MB RAM HTC Jade or 123 ?!?

[sercio]

Im totally suprised because I though that the HTC Jade (touch 3G) has 192MB of RAM but the system does only use 123mb of it :S Is this normal and if, why?
I made some screenshots of my system one showing from the settings and the other from mobile taskmanager...
Thanks for the answers!

If you didn't bring this up, I would have never known about that. lol :D

I'm assuming the rest of the RAM is for the video, but someone please confirm. Thanks!

On all devices(depending on the ROM you use) your actual available program RAM at startup is decreased from the actual hardwares amount.

For instance, the fuze/touch pro has 288 MB RAM, but when you start the device up you get about 200MB free RAM. With the custom ROM i'm using i actually only get 189.00 MB free Program RAM.

As to what occupies the seemingly unused space, i'm unaware of. All i know is it seems to be taken up by the ROM image.

Hope this helps.

so.. ist there any possibility to hack those unused space of ram with an custom rom or something? I mean 60MB makes about 50% of the ram which is currently used :S

Am I the only one? Is there anyone else noting less RAM then 192mb with his Touch3G?

You can't "hack" it. some ROMs use less RAM and you get a nicer bigger amount of it since your OS takes less space.. you can find a ROM for your device with more RAM space... that's the best you can do.
