Windows Does not Report All Memory
Written by The Geekette on July 5, 2008 – 6:05 amPosted in BIOS, Windows | No Comments »
It has been about 5 years since I have done a major overhaul to my computer. After tiring of blue screens and reinstalling XP over and over, I decided to upgrade my computer. Now, I have a 2.4 p4 quad core installed with 4 gigs of memory.
So, I decided to go back to Vista again to get the most out of the processor.
Here is my problem: It seems even though my BIOS reports 4 GB of memory, Windows only shows 3.x. So, I did some research. Turns out this is a known problem with Windows. The first to fix it is Vista SP 1. So, I am installing it and seeing if that will fix it!
