I looked into my usage 6077 total 4781 available.
gotcha, didn't look at the pic previously.
i'm not sure if this will work, but check this out: The Microsoft System Information (Msinfo32.exe) tool reports the incorrect amount of physical memory in a Windows Server 2008-based computer that has more than 4 GB of physical memory installed
it is a hotfix from microsoft that is supposed to correct a problem with memory recognition for 64-bit systems. i found this out when my 64-bit vista install was reporting incorrect ram. (http://www.vistax64.com/general-disc...repancies.html)
Yup
Trying the hotfix now, thank you guys for the help so far
damn, there's no windows 7 version of the fix and the vista 64 bit one "isn't applicable to my system"

Since you haven't filled in your system specs, it's not possible for anyone but you to check, but if in the BIOS you find a setting for Memory Hole, enable it.
ok...
4096mb installed...
2559mb available...
the lesser subtracted from the greater = 1537mb -- exactly the amount that is reserved for your hardware. so...
out of your 4gb installed, the operating system is setting aside 1.5+ immediately for hardware. what's left over, the 2559mb is what you have left to work with, and 619mb (according to the pic) cached, leaving 1679mb totally available
I don't remember there being any options about ram in the bios, but i can check again
not sure what version of bios i have, but im running an Alienware m9750 laptop with intel core 2 cpu @ 2.0ghz
dxdiag says my bios is "default system bios"
@mpcrsc562
Oooooohhhhh... I didn't even see that, i didnt count it up i thought the hardware was included in the 2.5
So does this mean my video cards are drawing 1.5 gigs?
