| | W7 32bit ... can I use all of my 4GB RAM ? Just upgraded to Windows 7 32bit ... it's on a Dell 9200 with 4 GB RAM Windows 7 shows 4GB installed 3GB usable ..... is that as good as I can get ? ........... seems hell of a waste to not use 25% of available RAM ? 32bit s/w should allow addressing up to 4GB .. Is there something I need to set ? or is that it with Windows 7 |

| | The 32-bit version of Windows can only use a maximum 3.25GB of RAM although in Windows 7 the system properties window will display the 4GB that is installed. If you want the benefit of the full 4GB you would need to install the 64-bit version of Windows. |

| | And remember, 4GB is all that 32bit can address. And that takes into account video ram, etc. So, as others said about 3.25GB is all that you will get for the OS directly. As long as you don't run old 16 bit apps and your hardware has 64bit drivers, this is the way to go. |

| | Go to Start and type in resmon and have look at the ram section at the top of page. I will show you exactly what ram is doing and amounts. |
