Windows 7 32bit 2.25 GB usable RAM
Installed Windows 7 Professional 32 bit onto a Dell Studio XPS 13 (PP17S).
There are two RAM sticks in there. Each one has 2GB making a total of 4GB installed.
Under system properties it says "Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (2.25 GB usable)"
Things I've tried.
Installed 3 different RAM sticks to test the DIMM slots. The slots are fine. The sticks I got are fine.
Took out the CPU to check for bent pins. Did a through look. Nothing bent.
Advanced Boot options. Checked, unchecked, either option did nothing.
Updated to the lasted BIOS to try and change some sort of advanced Mem Mapping stuff. BIOS is really basic and provides no such option.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
I'll upload some screen shots or pics of BIOS later if someone needs it.
