I just upgraded my CPU to a T7200 and 4GB ram and Win 7 64bit.
However, both the BIOS and the OS only recognise 3.25GB RAM.
Do I need to do a BIOS upgrade If so, I`m worried the upgrade will render the CPU incompatible.
Any ideas how to get max ramÉ I have also already changed the msconfig max RAM setting but it doesn`t help.
