Default =4GB ram=3d display problems with nvida based video card

There is no problem and none of your real memory is being used by the video
card.
What you are seing is the total address space allocated to the video card
and not the actual memory on the card. This is discussed in the link I
provided you.

Hi
Thanks for your input. The correct amount of ram is displayed in windows
and in the bios, just not the correct amount of ram on the video card
displayed in dxdiag. I have run memtest86, it reports no problems. The
system is up 24/7 running boinc and I never have any crashes. I do not
think that it is a hardware problem.
Thanks
