How to make it support till 3.5gb ? My laptop only detect 2.75gb out of 4gb. 1.25Gb loss!

currently i'm running in windows xp sp3 32bit with 2gb ram

i just bought 2x2gb ram n planning to switch with window vista 32bit
so,is it my ram memory read until 4gb or 3gb only?

@Kriss
I think your graphic card is using some of the ram (shared memory).. usually you can change how much memory that you want to allocate for your graphic card in bios.. but i'm not sure if graphic card can use that much shared memory...

@Nuclear_Crap
It should read until 4gb, just like this computer I'm using right now... but not sure if it will fully utilize it.. read 1st page post #6..

thanks bro,for sharing

Windows 7 shows 4gb. Proven.

window 7...

64-bit is better then 32-bit for gamer's OS ? Any explanation ? Is confusing with this.

so.. i understand that windows 32bit will not utilised fully 4gb.. but wat about in gaming? i mean does it use 4gb during gaming in 32bit?

If OS says no, the other thing that depends on OS also will say no.

so the answer..no.

only if the game is 64bit optimised. otherwise you'll only be runnong a 32-bit game from 64bit OS.

is it better? im skeptical.

many reason can lead to this case..pci graphics card / windows is one of them.

I think it's because you get DirectX10 in 64-bits OS. Games look great and detailed in DX10.

i try before for me i dont see any different

only the system RAM issues only.

turn out 64bit for me is more compatible den 32bit. for some low price budget hardware.

yes.. what can i said.. just ram issued only...
for me... still 32bit kicking... hehhheheeee

I always got insufficient memory problem.... until I purchase a super graphic card with a lot of RAM... I forgot the number of RAM... so long never encounter memory problem anymore.

aiyo..that why when i upgrade to 4gb my system state at 3.0gb.
that mean i need to upgrade to 64bit OS,and then my system can ditect my real 4gb memory..

btw thanks to fariz becoz pinned this thread.

some question here, did window vista SP1 32 bit detect ur physical 4gb ram?

for mine yes

just update to SP1 using windows update
