i have windows x32bit version....and sorry i dono where to find the mobo and ram sticks information..

Well, that's your problem.

x32bit will not use more than 4GB, and in most cases it will not use more than 3GB.

Get Speccy and post your hardware info! @ http://www.filehippo.com/download_speccy/

***....is there is no other way to use the 8gb ram??🙁

You need to install x64bit Windows.

So get Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit ~ $99.99 @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=32-116-986&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29&Page=1#scrollFullInfo

As a student, u can get even better deal, check http://softstore-sales.net/shop/search/?s=windows%20%257&cpn=cssa_unl_oem_3_7777
