ReadyBoost not recognizing more than 2GB
I have a new Notebook, an LG X140, with Windows 7 Home Premium ... activated as Genuine.
It only came with 512 MB of RAM so I decided to use ReadyBoost and a 4 GB USB Drive to add more RAM.
I selected "Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost" which selected 3851 MB. It only actually created an extra 2 GB of RAM. I believe I understand why there was only 3851 MB available and why it only could create 2 GB of RAM from that... so that isn't so much of an issue for me.
I then used a 1 GB SD Chip which is ReadyBoost Compatible and added that to ReadyBoost the same way, hoping that I could push it to 4 GB of RAM ... however my computer still only shows 2 GB of RAM.
I have tried swapping different USB Drives and SD Cards but with no success, I can't seem to get my computer to recognize any more than 2 GB of RAM.
I'm hoping there is something I've either overlooked or wasn't made obviously apparent my Microsoft so that there is a way I can fix this to allow me to add 4 GB of RAM on my computer.
Any help will be much appreciated.
