My HP xw8200 workstation at work only had 2GB RAM (4 x 512MB DDR2-400) and was getting slow.
So I added another 2GB of RAM (2x 1GB) of the same type/speed (another brand though).
BIOS recognizes 4096MB RAM. Windows System Info recognizes 4096MB RAM.
But Windows task manager only reports a total of 2,5GB RAM available.
Why oh why???
I have WinXP 32bit installed, so I know I shouldn't be able to get the full 4GB, but at least 3,5GB should be available, right?
