bluebate Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I just installed 4 sticks of Corsair memory, 2 twin2X2048-6400C5DHX. I went to the control panel and it says that my computer has only 2.5 gigabytes of memory instead of 4gigs. I made a boot disk that tested the memory, but nothing wrong was found. In bios, my computer says that I have 4 gigs of memory? What's the deal? Shouldnt the control panel say that I have 4gigs of memory instead of 2.5? I have windows xp professional service pack 1. I am wondering if this may be the problem, where I should just upgrade. Also, what am I supposed to be looking for besides errors in the tests when testing my memory? Can one pair of the memory that I have be dead? Any advice would be Great. Thanks:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 If you have a 32 Bit OS then you will be limited to about that amount of RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
