Why would my system which has 8 gig of ram show only 6.99 useable ? I have never noticed this before, just noticed it when doing tweaks to my motherboard and ram on this new set up, or is it just my head not working proper :confused:
see snip's attached

Sorted it, trouble was for some reason the check box in msconfig/boot/advanced/max memory was ticked, as soon as I unchecked it and rebooted it was all there :D

Thanks for the followup. I just check 3 Win7 systems here and none had that box checked. And on one, it reports 4G but only 3.75 available. That is using on-board graphics so that might explain that, but another machine with on-board reports the full amount. As does my 8Gb system. Ain't consistency nice?
