Fresh 7 Install. Recognizes 4Gb Ram, Using only 2Gb
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and had a question. I have read a thread on this site, but that was from back in August. I just installed 32bit Win 7, but have Ram issues.
I have a Dell XPS 600, with 4Gb of ram installed. When I look into the properties of My Computer, it states: "4Gb Installed (Using 2Gb).
If I'm not mistaken, I've read the max Ram 32 bit can hold is 4Gb. If I have 4Gb, why won't it use 4Gb?
I was running Vista, and had access to all 4 Gb. But once I installed 7, it immediately gave me this issue. I've looked into my BIOS so make sure something isn't checked off incorrectly, but all looks fine.
I've noticed my machine is much slower without the extra 2Gb, and I'd like to know if there's a way that I may be able to get this working correctly.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks ahead of time!
