I recently installed 4GB of memory into my system, and in the bios, it recognizes that there is 4096MB installed, however it says that only 3328MB is usable.
System Specs are: AMD Athlon x2 64 4600 Asus M32R-MVP 2 Seagate 150GB SATA drives in Raid 0 4GB Kingston pc 4200 in dual channel ATI x1600 SB Live Pioneer DVR-111D Enermax 420 watt Power Supply Not that it matters, but I am running Windows Vista Business edition. I have attached a screen shot from the BIOS. Any Ideas why there is a 700MB gap? *edit - I have the current Bios update and the motherboard supports up to 8GB This post has been edited by Daedlus: Apr 29 2007, 11:04 PM

QUOTE (ripken204 @ Apr 30 2007, 05:46 PM)  you need a 64bit Windows. That will not fix hardware issues. 64 bit Windows is not the miracle solution. |
