Guest FGGH Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I've added another 2GB to my system (K8Upgrade-VM800 Motherboard) but only 2GB is recognised. The new 2GB is recognised when I look at my BIOS, but XP is stuck on RAM of 2048MB. I've tried MAXMEM in Boot.ini, but that won't go any higher than 2048. What am I doing wrong?
Guest Jason O. Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 RE: Upgrade RAM from 2GB to 4GB Your bios might not be configured to see more than 2gb. I can't remember exactly what the setting was but it something with remapping the memory.

Guest FGGH Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 RE: Upgrade RAM from 2GB to 4GB Yeh, I've tried all the bios settings, but there's nothing remotely similar to 'Remapping' or anything to do with memory. It just states the 2 x slots and that there's RAM of 2048 in each.
Guest Bob I Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: Upgrade RAM from 2GB to 4GB UNcheck MAXMEM, don't put anything in it.

Guest FGGH Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: Upgrade RAM from 2GB to 4GB It was unchecked when I first went into Boot.ini. So I checked it and tried to change the setting to 4096. But it wouldn't let me - it always went back to 2048. So I left it unchecked again.

Where do you see the 2MB number being recognized? I don't know why you're only seeing 2MB, but I'll point out that you'll never see all 4MB. The maximum is around 3.1GB. That's because all 32-bit versions of Windows have to share their 4GB address space with memory used for hardware like your graphics card. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup
Guest FGGH Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: Upgrade RAM from 2GB to 4GB Yes, I'm aware of the 3.1GB. But I don't get that high! I see '2GB of RAM' displayed when I right click on 'My Computer' and go to properties.

What on earth are you doing that requires so much memory? There is not usually much advantage to be gained by giving XP more than 1 GB of memory. Exceptions are heavy duty applications such as editing high definition video, but even then 2 GB is as much as you need. Going much beyond that gives little advantage, not least because of limitations in XP.
Guest FGGH Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Upgrade RAM from 2GB to 4GB My pc has slowed down so much. I run e-learning development software, graphics software, etc - in addition to normal office applications. Just launching a programme now takes a couple of minutes! That's why I thought extra RAM would do the trick. Any other suggestions?

Ah, so the real problem is slowdown, not insufficient RAM.

Programmes and everything takes far too long. When I > print something, the whole system freezes. FGGH: It really would help if you would provide specific details as to your system, e.g., the make/model of your motherboard, your processor, your video card, your hard drive(s), what kind of system you're running (RAID?), and any other details re the PC components and programs you're running, etc., etc., so that you could get some intelligent & meaningful responses & suggestions to your query. When you add comments like "When I print something, the whole system freezes.", it seems apparent your problem(s) involve much more than adding RAM. Again, detail the problem(s) you're running into - be as specific as you can. Anna

If you let it do automatic scans it will bring your whole computer to a dead stop. The best thing to do when your computer is crawling is to open Windows Task Manager click on the Process tab and in the CPU column see what is eating up your processor. then you can right click on it and click on end process. See how that improves things. If it works either get rid of that program or reset the settings for it. Sometimes a programs auto update will do the same thing. That is why I always manually update.

I got rid of it as foxit reader does just as well and I had the same problem that you described. I went into Task manager and Adobe Readers update was using 100% of my cpu. got rid of it and no problems. I have almost as many programs running as you do ( I know because my son complains) but my computer zips along with 1gig of ram. Its not so much how many progams, although it can be a problem, but which programs and what you are letting them do. caver1

If I use the damned thing, it will try and download the update and use up my bandwidth as I am on dial-up. I DON'T want the update unless it is on my initiative. I have discontinued the sneaky download three times already. I can't seem to be able to head it off and have tried mightily. - Doug W. -
