SOLVED win 7 ultamate 64bit

[pinky33]

I have 6GB of Memory installed, but only 3.2gb is being used. I remember this problem back when running 32bit OS. Not sure what the problem is now.

Shows 6GB under Control Panel/All control Panel Items/System.

Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1

Processor: E8400 @3.0 Wolfdale revision C0
Motherboard: Asus P5W DH Deluxe
chipset i975X




Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

3.2GB being USED isn't a problem at all... Its when there is only 3.2GB available that there is an issue.

Also, why do you have 6GB? That means 3 sticks... on a dual channel board (so 1 2GB stick is running in single channel).

Did you check in "msconfig", under the Boot tab, Advanced Options button? The MAXMEM/Maximum Memory option should be unchecked.


EDIT: As EarthDog said, is 3.2 being used or is that the maximum? If the former, there is no problem.

It was memory remapping option in bios.

Thanks for info.

I am using one set of 2x2GB and one set of 2x1GB. It was free and its a gaming rig for the girlfriend.

His first post shows pc sig with no added gpu . so that ram is being dedicated to onboard video

I don't think you can dedicate that much to video... but that said, it was resolved a few hours before too.

Using a 9800gt 1gb. Just to clear up confusion.
