Thread: Total RAM confusing in Installed RAM

Installed RAM indicate 4Gb ram but total indicate 3.0 Gb ram with 256 Mb assigned for on board graphics in hybrid SLI mode with Nvidea 8500GT with 1Gb ram. At post the right amount of ram is shown 4096Mb still total ram indicates as 3.0Gb 256Mb 2.75Gb or else 3.75Gb is this because of the 4Gb max ram in the 32 bit windows as installed ram shows 4Gb is the OS appearing at the 1Gb on the graphics card as system ram ? OS is it a insect in the windows 7 RC .

Can anyone give me advance to solve this problem.

I think Windows 7 may be recognizes , 32-bit only up to three GB RAM .

Install 64 bit windows 7 then it will indicate entire 4 GB. with your video ram and shared physical ram. This is characteristic to turn operation whenever video ram acquires full.

simply 64bit Operating system can utilize more than 4GB or more of RAM. 32bit Operating system can only employ a small over 3GB.
