Memory problem
Last response: in Memory
Hello
First of all I will get my specs of my computer:
Motherboard = Abit il9 pro V1.0
Intel core2duo E6400 2.13Ghz @ 2.13Ghz 1066FSB
500GB WD HDD
Power supply =CIT 600W SILENT COMPUTER POWER SUPPLY / 12cm FAN (Day old)
Graphics= Nvidia Geforce GT 220
4GB DDR2(4x1GB) PC2-6400 (400MHz = DDR = 800Hmz) (But it is running as if its a PC2-5300(333HMz = DDR = 667) The motherboard can have 667 memory and its dual channelled.
according to my chipset (Intel 945P) I can have up to 4GB dual channel.
During the POST, the computer only recognises 3200MB of memory, but in the OS (Windows 7 ultimate) it says I have 4GB but only 3.12GB is usable. CPU-z recognises my memory as well, and I've tried upping the voltage on the memory, but nothing.
Any ideas?
This has been happing since I installed the memory.
Oh yeah, I've ran a memory test using the one in Windows, and it said its all good, basically.
Much appreciated people.

YOU CANNOT ACCESS 100% of the 4GB IN ANY 32-bit OS, remember you also have a Page File that exceeds 4GB. However, even with it OFF you still cannot access 100% of the 4GB due to the limits of 2^32-1 addressing - this goes for EVERYONE with a 32-bit OS.
THERE IS NO FIX other than getting a 64-bit OS, and EVERYONE with a 32-bit OS has the SAME EXACT problem. The only variable if how much addressing the H/W uses 3.1~3.6GB are the limits.
Your 3.12GB is NORMAL.
What EXACTLY don't you understand?!

Define 'it'??
Even in my 64-bit I loose some RAM as "H/W Reserved" and I don't give it a second thought because I know the devices on the MOBO require a certain amount to RAM to function. I look at my Resource Monitor; I am not concerned about the BIOS 'test' screens.
I see 2~8GB with showing-up in the 'H/W Reserved' ; meaning the BIOS 'sees' the RAM but for one reason or another disabled it {bad sticks, incompatible RAM, partition reserved, improper voltage, BIOS setting errors, etc}. However, in your case everything seems normal.

My Dad was hospitalized with CHF so I was away; he's okay now.
