    Windows will see 3 gig of ram but will only use 2


    I'm new here, this is my first post.

    I'm not even sure if i'm in the right place. I have a DELL Workstation. I've added 1 gig of ram to equal 3 in the computer.

    Windows 7 shows 3 gig of ram but only 2 gig usable.

    I checked the BIOS and it also shows all 3 1 gig chips but only shows 2 gig of ram.

    Any ideas

    Again sorry if i am in the wrong place

Howdy! So I've read up a bit on this from other posts of the same problem and here's what I've tried: Tried msconfig---every time I try to set the amount to anything above 2048 it resets. Tried deselecting "Max Memory" and it shows the same amount. Updated BIOS (Which only detected 3063...
