What on earth, bet you never seen anything like this!

Windows 7 is simply excellent and don't know why it's NOT showing my ram under "System Properties" but it's showing my 4GB ram everywhere?

I'm using W7 x64 RC 7100 downloaded directly from MS!

updated bios at all recently? may want to with the x64 install... or atleast before updating, check your settings as there may be an option already there for this.

Thanks Digger, how likely is the bios?

I have the GA-P35-DS3R rev 2.0 Gigabyte MB which I bought back in Dec 07 (F5 bios) and the latest bios = F11.

When I 1st installed W7 Beta 7000 x86, my ram was displayed correctly under System Properties, it's only x64 W7 not displaying the ram under System Properties!

Thanks again for your help.

not real sure to tell you. I have an old GA KV8 SLI PRO board and i dont recall seeing any options there, and I just did a flash but 2 weeks ago.

Fear not, as i havent loaded x64 yet, and there are lots of helpful ppl here that are and can probly point you in a better direction than i

Hey Digger, it's Windows 7 RC, not our MB/bios!

I'm happy to report that W7 (7127 x64) is finally displaying my ram under System Properties.

To my surprise, upgrading to 7127 from 7100 (instead of doing a fresh install, as I normally do) my C drive has gone down a bit by 1.5GB!

W7 7100 x64 19.9GB free of 37.2GB
W7 7127 x64 21.4GB free of 37.2GB
