|
Answer» hey there everyone i got a problem tonight i added 512 ddr memory to my system it currently has 2 1 gig sticks so i added 2 256 sticks and its only reading 2.42gb ram in windows xp 64bit i dont have onboard video so i know its not that using it up my current system is Amd athlon 64 3500+ with a asrock 939dualsata mobo What OS do you have? Some 32 bit OS will only do 2GB for applications, but the additional memory can be used by the system itself. using windows xp pro 64bit with sp2Sorry, I had missed that. I though you might be running in the 32 bit mode. Yeah, it should be more that just 2.4 GB What does the BIOS report? For some REASON Windows reports less that the true am mount of memory in the system. Beats me.What is the brand and model of your computer?bios says the samething 2.42gb but cpuid says i got 2.5gb and there is no make or model of my computer built it myself years ago OK. My guess is your BIOS uses the SHADOW ram thing. The BIOS chip is too slow, so it COPIES the BIOS into RAM for better performance. Best to leave it alone.okie doke thanks for the help |
