Wired Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Your BIOS will show 4 GB. Multiple reasons why this can happen. WinXP will reserve memory sometimes, other times it's a bios setting (usually will say something like remap 4gb hole). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Read RAM GUYs post here: http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45325 A thorough explanation of why you are likely seeing this. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Copied it: This is a limitation with any X86 system running a 32 Bit O.S. 4 Gig Bit of memory Max (Not Giga-Byte) and the other memory in your system will come off of the top like memory in your Video card and or the cache in your CPU and network card. So for example if you have 4 1.0 Gig modules Windows will see it as about 3.7 Giga Byte of memory minus the cache in your CPU and the memory in your Video card So if you have a 256 Meg Video card it might show 3.2 Giga Byte of total memory. And with some MB's they will reserve some of the memory for PCI devices in the system so that number may drop to bellow 3.0 Gig of total memory.
