1GB Installed memory, only 1gb usable.

I have looked in several forums, including this one. and every option i have found. dont help me so much ;(

I have also checked the BIOS . but there is no place where i can dissble " Dram over 4Remapp" or something like that.

everything i can think of i have checked.

I know 32bit can't handle more than 2 or 3GB memory, but it can handle 2gb, that much i know.
when i start my computer. it show 1024mb ram . that counts that up. but in everything else it shows 2GB bit 1 usable.
and it says that 1024mb is hardware reserved, ( maybe it is that ? how do i change that ?
I have run a test. nothing wrong with either of the memory sticks
I also have seperat graphic card with 512BM Ram on

can someone help me , please.

Thank you

Errrr I think you mean you have 2gb but it will only use 1. Is the slot for the RAM card working? Also is the Ram chip still working, a pin might not be working

How did u know that only 1Gb is usable? as in what indicated this?

So you checked in Properties in computer and it has Installed memory (RAM) 1024MB?
where did it showed 2Gb?

check this link . it shows 2gb, but only 1usable - Bildr.no
