|
|
Ok well
My Comp Only Detects 4GB , But I got 6GB ( Doesnt detect the 2GB )
My RAMS are 2x2GB Stick , 2x1GB Stick
( OCZ )
I run ;
ASUS P5K ( Can contains max 8GB)
Windows XP 32bits
Ive heard that It can only detect 4GB max , Is that true? Is there a way to make my comp use the 6GB?
Thanks In Advance~

32-bit Windows only detects 4GB, but in actual only uses 3GB. Yet another peeve of Microsoft.
You could try making your leftover RAM into a RAMdisk, but the best way to counter this is to use a 64-bit OS.

I believe they have it read 4gb because people were bitching and getting confused why they can't use it all on a 32bit os. Basically to satisfy the idiots.
The solution is to get out of the stone ages and use a 64 bit os.
