i have 4gb of ram installed in my system, but in "my computer" properties it just shows 2.75 gb of ram. i have 32bit version of windows xp installed in my system, and i know that it can support upto 4 gb of ram. Shouldn't it be showing like 3.25gb or something? i mean 2.75gb seems lesser than what it should actually show. im not sure about it. Or is there some other problem.. my specs are : phenom 955 BE Gigabyte 880 GSkill 2x2gb ddr3 1333 hd 5770 wd 500gb coolermaster 650 watt thnx in advance
Do you have an on-board graphics, or are you running something else ? look into you Bio's at startup and see what your on board graphics is using.. I always have to turn mine down... they eat up allot or your ram..
thnx that helped. it was the onboard graphics which was eating up the ram. i diabled it and now its fine. sorry for late response.
dude.. a 32 bit operating system can use a max of 3.25gb ram.. just for knowledge sake i post this info..
I think that there is a little conflict between these operating sistems. You better quit using two OS and work on just one. I say , there would be no problem if you listen to me.
