| 1250653 | 2011-12-25 05:45:00 | 32 bit has a limit of around 3.25 GB usable ram. So, if you install 4 GB, you'll get the same. Unless you install 64 bit | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1250654 | 2011-12-25 07:56:00 | Onboard graphics use the RAM, and yeah - get a 64bit version of Windows....stupid limits....you might upgrade again after and once you're over 4GB you need 64 bit. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1250655 | 2011-12-25 10:29:00 | Bear in mind reserved doesn't mean used. Windows can and does release it if something requires it. There was a lot of confusion about this when Vista came out and 7 continues the trend, the task manager doesn't show much free RAM because seeing you have plenty windows reserves some for various functions that might need it so it looks like the system is using more RAM than it actually is. And I agree with pctek, unless you go 64 bit there is no point getting more than 4GB (or 3.5 ish). If I understand it correctly 32 bit can only address 4GB RAM total but some of those addresses are used for system resources and Video RAM so there aren't enough left to address all 4GB which is why it's always somewhere around 3.2 ~ 3.5 Sometimes you can tell the BIOS to remap the video RAM and get a little more but never all 4GB |
