Let me give you a bit of background:
Before today, I had 2x2GB (4GB) installed RAM on my laptop, but it only showed 2.7 GB usable.
Today, I upgraded to 2x4GB (8GB) installed RAM, but it still shows only 2.7-2.9 GB usable.
I've tried Run -> MSCONFIG -> Boot -> Advanced -> Uncheck max memory, with no success.
On task manager it shows over 5GB of RAM being 'hardware reserved'. Someone please help and ask if you need any more details.
