Check in the BIOS for memory remap/remapping option and make sure its set to enabled.

Run MSConfig

Under boot options -> advanced settings -> Maximum Memory

Clear any check mark if present, click apply then restart the system.

I just restarted and went into the Bios and there is no remap, I restarted and went back into windows and now I am showing all 8 gigs usable and in performance the 8 gigs are being used. I probably should have went into the Bios after installing the memory the first place and let it be recognized. Thanks for the Help.
