Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 23, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 23, 2007 What version of O.S. are you using? If its a 32-Bit O.S. that is normal and you will never see the full four Gig of memory. There is a sticky about this is General questions. If you have a 64-Bit O.S. you may have to change a BIOS setting to Re-Map the memory. And I am sorry but ASUS Tech Support should know that.

leachlife4 Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 i have 32 bit win. . is it just a display error and i can truly use all my ram or is 32 bit robbing me? also kinda off topic: is there any way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64? (same concept as upgrading from xp to vista without doing a clean install) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 23, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 23, 2007 Twinx-2048-3200c2 - 3.25gb BIOS sees 4GB, Windows sees 2.96! I would suggest talking to Microsoft about the upgrade, but a different O.S. will require a fresh install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 24, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 24, 2007 LOL No problem, be sure that you do the updates for your O.S. and if you have more than 2 Gig U will need to do a patch for more then 3 Gig from Microsoft's site.
