4.0 GB RAM (2.91 GB usable)? Hello everyone, I am on Windows 7 RC Build 7100 x64, using a x64 CPU, I have 2 x 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM and it shows this in System; Attachment 15297
Why is this?

Either that's not a genuine x64 build (possible, if you got it from a torrent), or there's something wrong with one of your RAM sticks. Try taking them out, blowing into the sockets, and switching them around.
I would encourage that you upgrade to the latest x64 build (Either Client 7232 or Client [Server Mod] 7260). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire 5610 OS Windows 7 Professional, Windows Longhorn 4074 CPU Intel Centrino Duo T2350 @ 1.87 GHz Motherboard Acer Grapevine Memory 1GB (2x 512MB DDR2 400Mz) Graphics Card Intel Integrated 945GM Chipset Sound Card On-Board RealTek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor Screen Resolution 1280x800 Keyboard Built-In / Random Logitech wireless keyboard Mouse Synaptics Touchpad / Logitech Click! optical mouse.

Will try the RAM thing though. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom | Whitebox OS Windows 7 Ultimate, OS X 10.7, Ubuntu 11.04 CPU Intel E6750 @ 3.80GHz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L (Revision 1.1) Memory 2x2GB & 2x1GB (6GB) OCZ Reaper 1066MHz @ 1080MHz Graphics Card EVGA nVidia GTX 260 896mb (216 Core) FTW Edition Sound Card Realtek ALC888 Monitor(s) Displays 21" VIZIO TV Screen Resolution 1680x1050 @ 60Hz Keyboard Logitech Wireless S520 Mouse Logitech Wireless S520 - Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse PSU Corsair 750W Case NZXT Nemesis Elite Cooling Thermaltake SpinQ Hard Drives Western Digital WD6401AALS - 640GB

I can't Halo 2 to work on my computer, it sucks too much.
