Recently brought 2x2GB Trancend ram,but the problem is it only shows 3GB ram.
Motherboard is MSI P45 NEO F.
So, I asked the assembler to come and check tomorrow.
What do you think, what is the problem? How can it be fixed.?
first check in BIOS.
if you are using 32-bit operating system, it can't show more than 3.5Gb
move to vista/xp 64bit.
In, bios its showing 4096MB of ram.
Maybe its the OS prob.
Should I switch to vista ultimate 64 ?
get either XP 64bit or Vista 64bit
does 32bit Vista run comfortably with 4gb RAM?
Dude. Am running Vista on a 2Gb ram and a 2yr old 2.3GHz single core processor.
your vista should run without a hiccup.
But, before you upgrade,run Vista upgrade advisor to check if your h/w has proper drivers for Vista.
By your siggy, it should be fine.
Vista 32-bit should run fine on 4gig ram but only 3.5gig will be recognized.
oh crap....sry....i meant to ask abt 64bit!!!...sry my bad!
Vista 64 bit should be able to run without any problem on 4gig ram.
I think there is a switch that when added to the bootloader config enables using physical address extensions present on modern processors to enable access to ram beyond 32bit boundary. I dont remember exactly what was it. Google it.
