so about a month ago i got my self a bit more ram for my pc for better load times what not and with in 3 days i find out that only a part of my ram is usable the most ram this garbage mobo can handle is 4gb yet i'm only able to use 3.37 my os is windows 7 home premium 64 bit
current mobo: ASUSTek Computer INC. Leonite2 (Socket 775)
ps:i have another mobo i just gotta get a new case (just looking for a short term answer for now)
The 64 bit OS uses more of the available memory than a 32 bit. Thus with whatever else is using memory the 64 bit OS can cause less memory to be available.
Please post one of these from your system. Use this tutorial by Brink to do so.

i've looked at bios before i came here but it has vary minimalistic options i think thats just because the pc im using now was bought in store ie prebuilt hp desktop back in 06 but i've modded it since then but for the moment im using the mobo that came with it so all options on my bios are kinda useless
You have to click Resource Monitor, then the memory tab, then post a snip.
It`s your motherboard and most likely you can`t do anything about it.
Are you using on board graphics ?
or.....
Are you using a video card ?

I have an E6700 in my Gateway, that`s a good little cpu.
You didn`t say if you are using the motherboard graphics or if you have a graphics card installed ?????
Your memory is all there, you have 2690 MB dedicated to hardware.
Could you post a shot of your WEI, particularly this shot here.
