Hello,
Ive read a bunch of posts but it sems like i have a unique problem with the "hardware reserved memory problem..now bare with me because i dont know a lot of the technical stuff but...i have a toshiba l655d s5050 laptop with AMD athlon II. It has wondows 7 64 bit..it originally came with 3gb of ram and when i would check the ram usage in resource monitor it would show only 961mb of usable memory..the rest was hardware reserved. so them i decided to buy more of the same ram which is DDR3 so-dimm 204 pin 1066mhz pc3 8500 ram..i ended uo buying a g. skill 4gb mem stick..i put it into the slow where the 2gb stick was and moved to the 2gb stick to where the one GB stick was and then i have 4GB hardware reserved...after playing around with the memory sticks for a couple minutes..turning the computer on and off i realuized that whichever stick was in the second slot was hardware reserved...the computer is working fine now because i have the 4gb in the "good slot" and i have the 1gb stick in the "hardware reserved slot" and the 2gb stick is just sitting on my desk because i find it pointless to have it in the computer if
