More than 4gb ram
"George" wrote in message
... I have added 2 more gb ram.Vista home premium 32bit reports 4gb ,but using various applications I see 3072 mb ram.Is there a problem ? Thanks George Microsoft XP and Vista 32bit editions can ADDRESS 4gb of RAM, but the motherboard resources are part of the 4gb. Dependant on on the motherboard make and model, it will absorb anything between 0.5 and 1.25gb. This amount has to be taken away from the 4GB total. Hence, your motherboard accounts for 1gb in resources, leaving you with 3gb usable by Windows. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx

Thanks George If you need to use more memory you'll need to make sure your hardware supports 64-bit, and move to a 64-bit version of Windows. 32-bit systems are limited to 4GB (2^32) of total address space. http://www.dasmirnov.net/blog/2008/0...ng-more-than-4 -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.
