    Two 2 GB ddr2 ram sticks on board, only shows 2.75 GB installed on win 10 32 bit computer. Not the "usable" problem.

    Well, in case anyone is following I got an answer from the vendor, iBase, who have been great to work with, and I think even I understand it. So here it is: First using a 32bit OS make limitation ... the explanation ... Various devices in a typical computer require memory-mapped access. This...
