8GB Ram found - 3.25gb usable ?
Hey,
Title says it all, I'm using 32 bit windows 7 and i know there have been problems but i just want conformation.
Motherboard, ram and cpu are all new, no hardware faults or bent pins etc...
Is there any way to unlock the full 8gb of ram ? or will i need windows 64 bit for this to happen?
Thanks in advance =D

You already have a valid license for Windows 7, so there's no need to buy anything new. You just need to get the media. Borrow it from a friend, or do some Google searching. There are valid, Microsoft-owned sites, that you download the .iso image from. I'd post a link, but the mods do delete those comments. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
