Tech question - Winblows and RAM
« 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  Angry
