Hi,

I recently purchased a 2GB Transcend RAM, to accompany my already existing 2GB Transcend RAM.

Now, after i switch on my system, I found that In My Computer --> Properties, it shows Installed Memory = 4GB(2.99 GB Usable).

I am not getting 4GB Ram, its only 3062MB Ram that i can use.

Please help me solve this mystery.

Laptop MOdel: HP Pavillion dv2619TU
OS: Windows 7

You are using 32 bit OS.
Change it to 64 bit OS so that you can utilize total amount of RAM.

yes..its the OS limitation. Install 64 bit OS.
