    Humor us. Little things like this,

    os 64 bit doesnt use all 4 gb-sysspecs.png

    make it much easier to help you.

    Also,

    the issue has started after i installed McAfee end point encryption, till then every thing was fine (4 gb was recognized and used)
    That says get rid of McAfee then.

    Did you set max memory to zero (o) & then unchecked ? Click ok, close & reboot computer :)

    I'm Not advanced as most boffins here but,

    The prob started when u installed somthing, Uninstall it, see if it comes back.

    Also do you have a Onboard graphics card, If so your motherboard may be taking it for that.

    Hello,
    I have win 7 enterprise 64 bit with 4 gb ram.
    in device manager, i see that 4 gb is recognized, but actually only 3 gb has been used (it's written in bracket near to the recognized memory)

    any idea why is that ?

    thanks
    The remainder is cached windows will use it when you have something that needs it Apps that take alot of ram useing like editing and workstation type stuff don't worry it is available when needed

    Also you need to fill in you're specs if it is like any other system nowdays most vidcards come with there own dedicated memory unless you are mainly useing the onboard vga basicly unless you are using onboard thats the only other way

    but it shows something like 1564 mb cached means that either windows did this or the cpu or even the onboard but i doubt it ... i just think windows has it reserved for when you have something that needs the extra ram

    as i told before, it started to be happened after i installed McAfee end point encryption, probably it takes that memory, but in their web site i didnt find any reference to this subject ...
