Memory issues and updating Bios
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi everyone, first thing I have searched the forums and used the search function to no avail, but if anyone can link me in the right direction or if I have posted incorrectly please scratch this ![:)]( ":)")
Now with that being said my problem: On my gf's pc I found she has 4gig of ram installed, yet it only reads 3gig usable, I think it may be due to an old bios (2007) but I will list the system and let someone help. If it is a bios update, I know where to go, just not what to do, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
system details:
Windows 7 Pro, 64bit (upgraded from Xp32bit when 7 was released)
Intel core2duo E6600
Asus p5b deluxe wifi/ap mobo (bios version 1226)
4gig of corsair DDR2 1600 ram
Gtx460 1gig of ram gpu
Thanks in advance

It's not the "BIOS" thing, It's your Windows 7... Your Windows 7 is probably 32-Bit which im sure otherwise it would show 4GB total like 3.94GB or something that's close to 4GB... If it's showing something close to 2.90GB than you got 32-Bit Windows...
BTW you can try and check your MSConfig... Just google about it and you learn some stuff but If you learn to set the memory, dont even try to set it or check the box otherwise the next time you get on it, it'll turn into 250MB and you'll lag real bad when entering windows...
