Upraded 1gb to 4gb of RAM - 896MB 'usable'!
Hello, I have Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) loaded on my Toshiba laptop. I installed 2 x 2GB PNY chips of Ram into it (factory had 1gb, 2 x 512MB). The machine recognizes that it has 4GB of ram, but only shows 896MB as usable (the same as when I had the initial 1GB). Can someone lead me in the direction to figure this out?
From what I've googled is 4GB is max, common is 3.75GB usable. I'm a far cry away from that!
