Droid X2 RAM

[moto_droid1]

I just got the Droid X2 and like what I see so far. However, I am puzzled that when I kill all the apps using Advanced task killer app I only see about 130M of Available Memory. I was under the impression that the X2 had about 450M of RAM. So I was expecting to see around 400M when I kill all the apps.

Previous to the X2 I was using the LG Optimus and it would display around 300M when I kill all the apps.

Is it possible that the Advanced task killer app is not properly displaying the actual free memory on the DX2?

Are there any good apps out here that better display amount of RAM and what each application is using?

TIA.

the real question is why are you using a task killer?

The other answer is Motorola devs borked the ram allocation.

My thoughts exactly.

To free up memory from Apps that do not properly shutdown and do not release allocated memory.

No one else is doing that???

I've read that 108 MB of the total RAM are reserved for the GPU.

No....it is not needed. You phone has native software to end apps after 2 min of inactivity if you so desire. Hint: Task Manager.
