I just put together a new system and i was doing a system check I noticed that is said 8GB ( 2.90 GB usable ).
Now I looked up something things through these forums and before I do anything I want to get the correct answer because some of the posts are a little older.
One said I need to use 64 bit OS as the 32 bit only will see up to 4 GB
Then other posts says to go into Msconfig and make sure that maximum memory is unchecked ( i looked and it is already ).
I am running windows 7 32 bit , and here is the following I just installed. Its just one 8 GB DIMM. Thanks for the input.
Included a link to my task manager and my system page. The link is from my own website its not spam btw.
