    W7 64bit 8GB installed, 6.01 usable


    This is my system:
    Lenovo H535
    Processor: AMD A10-5700k Trinity APU @ 3.4ghz
    Allocated RAM: 8gb (6.01 usable)
    GPU: Integrated ATI Radeon 7660d
    Motherboard Chipset AMD A75
    4MB L2 Cache

    What I'm asking is basically how do I force Windows 7 to use all 8gb worth of memory?
    Where's the other 2gb going? :|

    Can you post a snip of the color picture in Resource Monitor > Memory tab.

    Probably reserved for hardware as a guess.

    Go to task manager and then resource monitor, where you will see details of how memory is allocated. Windows does a pretty good job of it.

    There it is: 2034 hardware reserved. Over 2 GB. For the video card, I assume.

    You are using less than 2 GB, so you have no problems.

    Do you have an on-board video that shares the RAM ?

    I have an integrated GPU, since my processor is an APU. It uses 764mb.

    Hmm, that does not account for all of it. But you may be right. It could be a board restriction although 6GB would be an odd number.
