Vista - 4GB of physical memory shows as less than 3 in system properties

I just upgraded my physical memory to 4GB but under system properties, it
only shows as 2.7 or so. 32 Bit Windows 7. Why?

~alan

32 bit versions of Windows can only address about 3.2 GB.

I've had a 32bit windows showing 4GB of memory

Try putting only 1 stick in then starting
then shutdown and put in another

until all are in

also hit ctrl alt delete
under the performance tab you will see a section called
Physical Memory (MB)

that should tell you exactly how much memory windows is using

one last thing

these forums are for 64-bit versions of windows
so don't post 32 bit problems in here

The website is vistaX64
This website was made for windows 64 bit problems.


so if you are going to post something about a 32bit system
then you should make it very clear that you are posting a 32bit problem


to Peter
I was telling him to put one stick in at a time and run the computer
and every time he restarts add another stick

and as for the task manager
well I know I'm 100% right on that one.

You're a complete moron and are clueless as well.

That "website" is a gateway to the MS Usenet newsgroups. It leeches
the vast majority of its posts from MS servers - all those from users
whose number of posts are "n/a" are the leeched posts, i.e., they come
from OUTSIDE that site.
