Hello guys i have an question here !

I brought 2 other GB of memory for my computer
And something piss me off on the bios that's tell me i have 4 gb of memory
And on Windows it's say me i have 3.5 gb of memory
I know is because Windows 32 Bits support no up than that number
But anybody found an solution for fix that ?

If yes can you tell me plz !

Thanks in advance!

I think there are tweaks that can reduce the loss but AFAIK you need a 64bit OS to fully take advantage of 4GB or RAM.

Use linux with a modified kernel to support 64gb of memory or get 64 bit edition of your OS.

Here is the official table of how Windows can use Memory:

Memory Limits for Windows Releases (Windows)

You 'might' find a link on there for workarounds.

That is a very helpful link! Here is the rest of the story. You probably won't like it, but here it is: TabBlogger : The 3GB-not-4GB RAM problem

I hope that this helps clear things up. Good luck!
