I just finished installing my new Mobo, a Gigabyte GA990FXA-UD3 rev 3.0. with 8 gigs of Ballistics rams. I was wondering if having a 3831mb of Shared memory is okay? or do I need to lower it?
"Shared" doesn't mean it is not available for applications to use in this case. It's not being pulled out of the memory pool and made unavailable to apps like it is with the AMD APU series of processors that actually use system memory for video. What you see is normal behavior for Win 7 and Win 8. This has been a great source of consternation for many but just ignore it. If you were to install 8 more gigs of ram, the OS would report an even higher amount of "shared" memory. It's just smoke and mirrors.
