I have a HP EliteBook 8560w laptop that is a year old. I have 8gb of RAM and I see in task manager and in windows system that only 2.98 is available. The BIOS seem to be very limited as I saw no option for voltage adjustments or remapping.
How do I fix this?
Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB (2.98GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Model: HP EliteBook 8560w

I have already looked at msconfig advanced boot options and the box is not checked or limited in memory use.
