I've got 4gb ram in my machine but Control Panel System indicates 2814
mb. I realize in 32-bit that I lose some address space, but this seems a
little silly esp. with a 512mb video card. How do I troubleshoot this?

thanks,
Dave

Look for the answer under your other posting.

What does your video RAM have to do with system RAM? Uh, nothing? Unless
your video RAM is shared with system RAM. But you say you have a 512MB video
card, so one must assume you're not using shared RAM for video. True or
false?

I have 512mb on the video card - and of course Windows has to account for
that - is has to live in the allowed 4gb address space for 32 bits. Still I
was expecting to get 3.5 gb rather than 2.8 gb of unusable RAM. More than
1/2gb of address space that something has grabbed - I would just like to
figure out what... 680i SLI motherboard with a core2 Duo Extreme x6800 and
a single GeForce 7950 GS.
