I just upgraded my DDR Ram from 2.5GB to 4GB.
When I checked in System Properties, instead of showing 3.2 GB, as I would have expected, it shows 2.61GB. What's interesting is previously System Propeties showed 2.5GB - it seems I gained very little, if anything with the extra 1.5GB.
The Bios shows 4GB installed, as does CPUZ. I'm using XP SP3, and have an 8500GT video card with 512mb DDR2.
Any ideas would be appreciated - it would seem Windows is recognizing the 4GB, but it would still be nice to have an explanation of what happened in System Properties.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
