As above, just put in my laptop and it says 950mb????? Whats that all about?????

Have i been done? It says 2gb on the card.

 

you've been had !!!!!!

 

Sounds abit fishy... You'll never get a full GB displayed but to see it halved is just damn right fishy.

Some will be taken for paging, some will be taken for cache, some will be taken for graphics memory, some will be taken for other random processes - but only showing half is a bit much :/

 

What type of memory card is it, what make, where did you get it from and has it got any files on already? (had to ask...) There are snide memory cards out there....

Incidentally, I purchased a Sony memory stick from Play.com quite a while ago, and whilst the packaging said 2GB, the actual card was only 1GB - luckily it was in their clear plastic carton thing and I noticed before I opened it. Packaging didn't look like it was tampered with either.

 

Its a sandisk 2gb card from asda, so nothing on it mate.

Ive just noticed a star on the packaging, so i look on the back and it says 1gb next to the star, followed by 'some capacity not available'. Bloody stupid that if you ask me. Why not just put 1gb card!

 

Robbing bastards!

 

Im gonna take it back out of principle. Why advertise something as 2gb when its only 950mb, seem ridiculous to me!

I think i remember my 1gb tomtom sd card being slightly less than 1gb, but i think that was about 950mb so a 2gb thats less than half seems very stupid to me.
