I have 8 gigs of RAM, but more than half is sitting in reserve status.  How to I CORRECT this?



[ATTACHMENT deleted by admin to conserve space]I moved this out of the FAQ section....Ok thanks.  Was searching in there and must a posted.  SORRY. No problem...Welcome Aboard !

PS...it'll get more attention here as well...Heh yea.  I actually did more searching around.  I have a 32bit system and some places are saying that 32 will only see 4GB of RAM, to have it see 8 to upgrade to 64 bit.  So there must be something else going on because I've had this build for over 2 years and no issues.  But now I get lag when I try to play a game....A 32 bit stem can use PAE to GO about the 4GB limit. However, the 32 bit systems used by most of use don't have that implemented.
PAE is possible if the CPU has more than 32 address lines. A number of 32bit CPUs have that feature and some motherboards support it.
OPERATING Systems and PAE Support
It was (is) used on system servers to improve overall performance.

From what you said, your system does not use the PAE feature.
