Hi people, Well I had some RAM and it shown ONLY 2GB OF RAM. So went out and BOUGHT new RAM 4GB put it in then all i saw was 2GB! After doin' a bit of research I knew that the old RAM had 4GB (I got my computer tweaked so I didnt know) Is there a way to make this show or anything?

Did you alter the configuration in MSCONFIG > Boot > Advance?
If so, uncheck "Number of processors" and "Maximum Memory" those checkboxes should be unchecked.

Is it one 4 gig module? If so does your motherboard support 4 gig modules per slot? Does it show up correctly in the BIOS?

Also try one stick at a time in your main slot. RAM does come bad sometimes. If they all show up by themselves try switching the order you previously had them in. I have heard of this causing this issue before. What kind of RAM is it?

X32 registers upto 3.5gb RAM

as others have mentioned... is it 1 4gb stick of RAM? if so...technically your wasting .5gb if you run it on its own, Due to the fact stated above.

Also, remove all the ram and JUST put the 4gb stick in. what does your PC do / not do?
