| | 4 GO Ram limitations We see lots of messages on many forums related to people wondering why their system does not show their full 4,0 GO. I have 4 GO on both my desktop and laptop. It showed 3,325 GO on the desktop before I upgraded to SP1 RC. Now it shows 4,0. Same thing happenned when I upgraded to 4 GO to my laptop. Since SP1 RC was already installed, it showed 4 GO right off he bat. I guess it only shows the total memory but still cannot use it since the physical limitations are still there. Or are they? Of course I am using Vista Business on both systems, x32 version . |

Although I haven't seen SP1 RC1 yet, I believe that that's correct. The reporting has changed, but the amount that's usable hasn't. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

So now it shows in Windows but it still can't all be used by Windows. -- Mike Hall - MVP http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |
