4gb RAM installed, sometimes showed 2gb usable
Hi,
I have 4gb RAM on the Dell XPS 1530 machine.
I installed Windows 7 64 bit from on two partitions.
The first one, a fresh install, Computer Properties shows 4gb RAM, the same value (4096) is also showed in Task Manager.
The second one, I upgraded from Vista 64 bit, it shows 4gb RAM (2usable), the same (2048) is showed in Task Manager.
I heard the story about Memory Remap, my mainboard didn't have it. However, the first case, it automatically recognize 4gb RAM, I guess Windows7 manages everything. Is there anyway I 'turn on' the rest 2gb in the second case?
Thanks.
