I'm trying to allocate RAM from my bios back so that Windows 7 and games can use it. I currently have 8GB of ram (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7564471&CatId=4534 I currently have 2 sticks in my pc) in an msi motherboard (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1963472). windows says i have all 8gb installed but only 3.97gb is usable. Now i know my BIOS does not need 4gb of ram and that 3gb is enough to do what it needs to do, but i do not know how to allocate it if it is possible. The manual told me nothing about allocating it (which my tech savy friend looked at, and he has no clue how to do this either, which is why im asking here), so i was wondering if anybody knew how to do this. Any help is appreciated.
