Can anyone tell my why Vista only recognizes 2 gig of RAM, even when I have
4 gig installed? My BIOS sees 4 gig. I may not be the smartest person in the world, but why would a MB manufacture sell a MB that supports up to 8 gig ram, when the OS only sees 2 gig? Any help or explanation will be appreciated. |

See the following article that discusses why you are seeing less RAM than expected. Windows Vista or Windows Server 2003 may report less memory than you expect: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929580 -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Buz Fuller" wrote in message . ..
