Well howdy there.

I have been led to believe that my current pc can only use 3gb of my 18gb RAM installed. Note this image shows information.

In resources it says that 15361 memory is reserved for the system.

My friends have told me that it is a processor limitation.

I quote this from an amazon product

Affordable desktop PC with 2.2 GHz AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor
200 GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM (4 GB max), multi-format LightScribe DVD/CD burner with dual-layer support

That is not my pc, but it stands...

(If you could show proof to back up your statement that would be great, but not necessary)

I don't know how or where you got 18gb of ddr1 ram for 4 slots but anyways.....

most likely your motherboard does not support that much ram. What is your motherboard? have you tried updating the bios? if you open task manager, does that also say 3gb?
