Shuttle SD37P2 - Vista RC1 (32-bit) only see's 2GB
I'm having trouble getting 32-bit Vista to recognize all of the RAM in my
Shuttle SD37P2 "Conroe" system: A clean install of 32-bit Vista RC1 (build 5600) only recognizes 2GB of RAM on a 4GB Shuttle "SD37P2" system. A clean install of 64-bit Vista RC1 (build 5600) on the same iron recognizes the entire 4GB of RAM. The Shuttle SD37P2 has the latest available BIOS SD37S022, dated 2006/07/06, an Intel Core-2-Duo E6700 processor, and 4GB of ECC DDR2 RAM (as 4 sticks of 1GB each) The BIOS recognizes all 4GB of RAM in dual-channel mode and displays the correct RAM size in SETUP. The Shuttle BIOS has a setting for a "memory-hole" - which does NOT affect the amount of RAM seen by 32-bit Vista - setting it to "enabled" or "disabled" seems to have no effect on the result. I would rather run the 32-bit version at least for the near term as most of my 3rd-party software won't run on 64-bit. Any suggestions or ideas welcome! 8-)
