    64Bit OS wont utilize my 16GB memory.


    Hi Guys,

    So I have a 64bit laptop with 16gb ram running 7 ultimate 64bit.

    If I have a few programs open my computer starts to grind to a halt when it hits 3.5-4gb ram being used.

    I have only ever seen it hit around 6-7GB when I was doing MASSIVE stuff in Excel. If I have other applications that need more memory, they grind to a halt.

    Why cant my system seem to utilize the full 16gb memory?

    any ideas?

    thanks

    Mike
