1) Are you using the 64 bit version of windows or the 32 bit version?
2) How old is the motherboard you are using?
Edit: Ooops, posts got crossed. Assuming the above doesn't fix it.
Enable "Memory Remap" if it's listed in your BIOS.
Yes, I have 64bit windows 7 I don't know how old the motherboard is because it's a laptop. I'm currently not on my computer so I can't do anything on it yet.
