Title: Tech question - Winblows and RAM
Post by: Aske on January 18, 2007, 08:22:04 PM
so, we bought this dell e520 which has a dual channel ddr2  system with 4 slots

it came with 2x1GB DIMMS

today, buttbuy had a sale on the same type of ram.


i installed 2 more,  so i have 4x1GB RIMMS  installed

BIOS detects 4GB

winblows reports only 3 GB in task manager and  my computer properties....


i have done a bit of googling, tons of people with similar problmes

i edited boot.ini with the pae and 3gb and dep flags


what else can i try.  this *fiddlesticks*in sucks  >:(

You need (64 bit) for it to be certain to recognise it.

"Known Issue"

Vista will be your friend.

Have you used much of Vista, aske?

Maybe if I move this to another thread it will be answered faster. ;)

32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

He likes Micro$haft so much, he let himself be Micro$hafted.
