Memory setting from MB to GB

I was wondering, where are the settings, to change the display under Configuration -> Memory from MB to GB

I am seeing that all the memory settings are shown in MB and not in GB and I am trying to figure out, how can I change this?

Environment - 3.5 U2 and Vc 2.5 U2

Thanks

In the config screen for memory, I'm not sure it is possible to change the units displayed.

Just like math class from 5th grade, scientific notation. You shift the decimal 3 places to the left.

16,384.00 MB = 16.3 GB (approx.)

But you can't change it on the screen.

What school did you go to? I learned that stuff in like 3rd grade, were you behind or something? Smiley Wink

Yea there is no place to change that setting because most units are in MB. If it was in GB you would be seeing a VM use .256GB of RAM which would be just as bad having to convert it back to MB

Guys, please have a look at the Resource Mgt guide VC 2.5U2 , Pg 15 and there you will see the screen shot, of the memory with GB and not MB. Due, to that screen shot. I had posted this question.

Thanks
