Hello Ricky,

Is your Windoes x32bit?

 

[nikorr]

If yes, that is the reason.

 

[ricky56]

i am using windows xp sp3 32bit,

 

[nikorr]

That is the reason, x32bit version can address only up to 3.25GB of RAM,

and if u have an integrated graphics, it will take that much more.

when i purchased this unit it is cleary showing 3.something GB, but after i re-installed the windows, know it was showing only 2.5gb, any technical explanation? i am using intel(r)core(TM)2 Quad CPU is x64bit application and windows will run with this specs?

 

[nikorr]

Can u go to msconfig and adjust the RAM there in the Max memory to 3GB...
