I have 6GB of RAM, and Windows sees all the RAM when checking my computer properties. Also some computer statistics programs will see it, like "Speccy". But everything else only sees 3GB of RAM and my machine is running like it only has 3GB. I use some RAM intensive apps so I need to squeeze out as much as I can. Here's some of what Speccy reports:
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Windsor 90nm Technology
RAM
6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 401MHz (6-6-6-18)
Motherboard
ASUSTek Computer INC. NARRA2 (Socket AM2 )
Graphics
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (EVGA)
I have recently found out that since I'm running 32-bit that my RAM will be limitied to 4GB but everything else reports that I have 3GB of RAM not 4. Even DXDIAG reports only 3GB.
