Memory not fully showing in WXP

[Jezzer]

Hi,

My GF has 4 x 1Gb of RAM and yet when we look at the 'performance' tab within task manager only 3.4Gb total is showing.

I understand that not all physical memory is available but the 'available' memory is shown separately.

It is probably nothing to worry about but isn't it normal to show slightly more memory, not susbtansially less?

This is purely because you are ruinning a 32 bit version of windows and that is the maximum that can be seen or used by any 32 bit operating system.

Nice one. Thanks DM  .
