4GB Installed only 2GB usable
Sorry guys, I had to post another topic about this.
I already understand why PAE isn't enabled on 32-bit versions. This is making me uncomfortable seeing that only a half of the memory is being used and the remaining is sitting there doing nothing. I'm not even getting better performance it's basically just the same with my older setup.
Before I had 2GB of ram installed (in a 1 X 1 format, in dual channel) and System Information reports 2GB with no usable for additional information.
Now that I've swapped in a new motherboard (which is a DDR3 one), System Information reports that I only have 2GB usable out of 4GB (Single Stick 4GB)
I've checked hardware reserved, here's what it said:
According to my research, it should be using around 3.50 to 3.80GB for the RAM and the rest for the hardware. I've already tried using my 1GB graphics card on another identical system and is reporting 3.60GB of ram usable.
Is there a way of pushing it to atleast 3GB?
