    yep...there is your proof...read my post above
    Didn't even cross my mind that someone would have 6gigs in 32 bit and that it would work as he said in vista "when i had vista installed on my box it wasn't showing this problem...

    Maybe he had Vista x64 ?
    Then clean install of Win 7 x86 ?

    Hard to imagine 32 bit Vista originally installed, to run 8 cpus with 6 gigs...

    Did Vista support the IA64 architecture ?

    Windows 7 64 bit not reading my 6GB


    I just installed Windows 7 64bit and it's not reading my 6GB.

    In the system info - it reads: 6.00 GB (3.12 GB usable)

    In the Task Manager it reads: Physical Memory, Total: 3199

    My mobo is Asus P5W Deluxe.

    Would like to find out if I can access the other 3 GB!

    Try the bios setting for max memory it should be unchecked.

    IA64 only runs on Itanium CPUs. Which only run apps written for that.

    Having JUST been laptop shopping... A lot of laptops and even some desktops are sold with Vista 64 on them. I bet most people don't even realize they are running it unless they specifically look for it. It was surprising.

    windows 7 x64bit build 7100
       #20

    hey im having some issues. i have 4gb of ddr3 1600 mhz (i would have but 1 stick of my trip channel doesnt work ) but my version of windows x64bit, build 1700 reads only using 1.99gb of the 4gb total memory.

    i know it registers 4gb 'cos it all checks out in the bios. AND because it says total memory is 4gb. but when i go into task manager it only reads 2gb being used.

    is this just windows 7 doing some wierd "im only gonna TELL you im using less ram" thing or is there a fix or an update to fix this.

    thanks
