I have an issue with memory in Windows 7 64bit!!
I'm using a Acer Aspire 5100 Notebook. I have 2x2gb ddr2's installed. Issue seems to be these are the largest modules made in ddr2 configuration. But I am showing total installed ram of 4gb, only 3.75 is useable... I did the best option and ent out and bought Windows 7 64 bit because I WAS using Windows 7 32 bit and was limited to a total useable ram of 3.5x... This expense of the new operating system does not justify .25 ram increase.
Is there anything I can do to get the total 4gb as useable? I have 2 32gb USB zip drives I am using with readyboost as commited to pagefiles. Is there anyway to use them as Ram Disks?
Is there a docking station that will accept more Ram to overcome the ddr2 limitation? I have no other issues with the Acer Notbok as all functions are (including Orbicam) working to perfection! I do not want to move on to another Notebook. We are using 6 Acer's (5100) that were donated to our school here in Chiang Mai Thailand. Our school pretty much runs on donations, so you can see why we want to stick with the Acer's
Any Idea's??
