chrisbco02 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 My BIOS is reading all 4 gigs, but it tells me only 3 are usable. Are there any settings I can change to use all 4 gigs of RAM? -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbco02 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm running Windows XP Pro x64 edition, so my O.S. shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 16, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 16, 2006 How much total memory is shown in Bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbco02 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Under System Information my bios reads: System memory Installed size: 4096MB Usable size: 3072MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 19, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 19, 2006 Then thats is limited by the Bios or because of the configuration. Do you have Two Video cards in SLI mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbco02 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Nope, only one 7600gt right now. I plan to add a second one soon though, would that interfere with max usable RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yes it can but it depends on how they did the bios, you might talk to the MB maker and see what that have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
