what is using the memory?
a week or so ago we bought 2GB new memory to max out 32 bit machine ( Foxconn Intel processor motherboard), but when we looked in Computer Properties, it said there was only about 2.27GB available for use - though 4GB is recognised. I thought Crucial must have sent us a duff stick. However, yesterday we maxed out another 32 bit machine, this one MSI Intel processor motherboard, and that too recognises 4GB but this time 3.25GB is usable. Both machines are running Nvidia graphics cards, which have their own RAM of course, and the Microstar doesn't even have embedded graphics - so where is quite a sizable chunk of memory going? Both are on Skt 775. Can you advise please?
