| Windows 7 48 posts | 3.26 GB RAM Usable on 64 Bit??? Okay, this is really weird. Previously, I had had a ordered a kit of 4GB ram with one defective stick. After installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with the good stick, I RMA'd the kit back to newegg. The exchange arrived today, and after installing the new kit of ram, windows only recognizes 3.26GB of it! Under the system information panel, it says: Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.26 useable) despite me having a 64 bit OS.... Whats up with this???? I Memtested the ram and it shows up as only 3255 MB in there also... Does anyone know why? |

| Windows 7 Ultimate x86-64 2,716 posts | I don't know about the Memory Remap feature since it doesn't exist in my mobo, but that is normal. I have 4.00GB and around 3.1GB is free. |

| Windows 7 Ultimate x86-64 2,716 posts | Before you fiddle with the BIOS, does the right amount appear in POST? Press Pause to see. Then download HWInfo32 and see if it detects your memory in dual-channel/amount in the summary window. This is normal though. |
