Solve : All ram not showing up?? |
|
Answer» I have an Athlon 2.4ghz pc running WINDOWS XP Pro with a Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 AM2 NFORCE 570 MOBO, with 2gb ram. I recently purchased (cheap!) 2gb from a friend who was tearing down his old PC and decided to install them in my system. Yeah, I know 4gb is overkill, but I have it, so why not? Anyway, I installed both chips, but my pc is only showing 3.25gb ram, instead of 4gb. Why? I know the max ram for my mobo is 4gb, so that shouldn't be a problem. Suggestions?a 32bit OS will not see more then 3.25-3.5gb's of RAM. if you want to access the FULL 4gb, you will need to purchase a 64 bit OS.Ahh, that explains it. So if I don't switch to a 64bit OS it won't cause any problems though, right?no. you will be fine, it just MEANS that little bit of RAM will not be used. |
