4gb of Ram
I installed vista for the first time and when I did I was expecting to see my
4gb of ram to show up but it only shows me that I have 2812mb of ram. Is there a way to get the rest of my ram to show up and/or be used? Any Help would be Greatly appreciated Thanks

4gb of Ram
You must be using the 32Bit version of Windows. It can only address 4 GB of
RAM. Your video card RAM and other system devices use some of that address space (not your physical RAM). In order to have Windows "see" the full 4 GB of RAM, you would have to upgrade to the 64 Bit version. There is a /PAE switch that may work to help with some of it (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa468629.aspx) -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "Bluester" wrote in message ...
