I was having an issue with Windows only being able to use 4GB memory.
It showed up as "Total Memory: 4096MB" and "Installed Memory: 8192MB".
So I reseated the memory, or rather switched slots. I went from slot 2-4 to 1-3. It's now showing my total memory as 8178MB, problem solved.
However, my available memory feels a bit low.
Even when I had just booted windows it only showed up as 6012MB available memory.
Is it normal for it to "skip" out on some memory. Windows obviously uses some additional memory but is it as much as 2GB? Maybe I'm just paranoid...
