Why is Vista showing only 3 Gb memory when 4 Gb is installed?
4GB, all things being equal. The system will leverage it for you.
"F r e e" wrote in message ... "Colin Barnhorst" hi Colin, i have been reading you and others here with great satisfaction, and now i have a question: What is the ideal maximum RAM in Vista 32bits? Does 4G make sense? Or, p.e. 3 G would be more reasonable? And... isn't 4 G becoming fastly a very low limit (nowadays everybody edits videos etc) Thanks in advance! f r e e |

I am not an expert ( but I read many posts & then did this )
& the issues was fixed 1st try... !! : ' ) enter Bios Advance chipset features memory hole for PCI MMIO enable feature! this feature is to remap to address above 4G of ram its all there now! "Stan Kay" wrote: I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe motherboard and four 1 Gb sticks of CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 memory and am runing version 6000 of Windows vista Ultimate. The bios reports that I have 4 Gb of memory but after the O/S has booted it reports only 3 Gb of memory. Moreover, when I run msinfo32 it reports that I have:- Total Physical Memory: 4,096.00 Mb Available Physical Memory: 2.28 Gb Total Virtual Memory: 2.00 Gb Available Virtual Memory: 1.96 Gb Can anyone please offer an explanation for this discrepancy and a view on whether I will be able to use all of my memory rather than only 75% of it? |
