Hi,
I recently purshacse new 4G ram as an upgrade to my sony vaio laptop memory.
BIOS (R0300Y8) is showing System memory is: 8192MB
When running Top commannd in linux (while "memtester 4096 1" is running in background), it shows the following:
MiB Mem: 7810.6 total, 4400.1 free, 2438.4 used, 972.1 buff/cache
Mib Swap: 975.0 total, 975.0 free, 0.0 used, 5031.0 avail mem
So it can't go beyond 4G.
Also, when I run "memtester 7810.6 1" it shows a message that page is is 4096 which I don't know why.
