I have C2D E7500
P5KPL-AM/PS 0502 bios
1GB x 4 DDR2 pc2-6400 ram
Windows XP 32bit

The problem is the system is showing 1.99 gb ram installed in windows properties while cpuz is showing 4 gb installed. I know XP should show around 3.2gb ram installed instead of 4, but 1.99 ?

Wits the problem?
Help needed

Thanx

First of all 32 bit windows will show around 3Gb ram.Check this for further details
And for the 1.99Gb showing i think remaning ram allocated to onboard GFX.Not sure though.Check Bios for further info.

Ur MB has only 2 ram sloths how can u put 1GBX4 sticks in it
also ur MB supports 4GB max Ram i.e 2 x DIMM, 4 GB, DDR2 1066*/800/667 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
