MBP RAM: 3GB v. 2GB

[thesbach]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
Email Client: pop

Configuration: 17" MBP, 2.33 GHz C2D, 3GB DDR2 SDRAM OS X v10.5.2

In the *many* crashes of Excel & Powerpoint, I've noticed that the configuration of my computer reported to Microsoft states that there is only 2GB of RAM installed. However I have 3GB. If the crash is trapped by OS X, the correct configuration of the computer is reported to Apple.

Anyone else seen this anomaly? Anyone with 3GB of memory having issues with 2008? I can't find any references to this - and I'm finding posts as of folks as frustrated as I with 2008 - and folks who are equally amazed we're having issues... I routinely work with >60+MB Excel spreadsheets, with LOTS of calculations... I'm back to using Office 2003 via Parallels - it's actually faster and less crash prone than 2008 running native.

Thanks for your help.
Take care...
Tom

Did you update to 12.0.1 already?? Excel doesn't seem to be as crash
prone as it was in 12.0 in the new version,
