4GB Ram not showing missing on Vista 64

January 10, 2008

For Windows Vista to use all 4 GB of memory on a computer that has 4 GB of

memory installed, the computer must meet the following requirements: • The

chipset must support at least 8 GB of address space. Chipsets that have this

capability include the following:

• Chipsets that support AMD processors that use socket F, socket 940, socket

939, or socket AM2. These chipsets include any AMD socket and CPU combination

in which the memory controller resides in the CPU.

I have a AMD 2222SE Dual-Core @ 3Ghz

• The CPU must support the x64 instruction set. The AMD64 CPU and the Intel

EM64T CPU support this instruction set.

This is a AMD 64 CPU

• The BIOS must support the memory remapping feature. The memory remapping

feature allows for the segment of system memory that was previously

overwritten by the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) configuration

space to be remapped above the 4 GB address line. This feature must be

enabled in the BIOS configuration utility on the computer. View your computer

product documentation for instructions that explain how to enable this

feature. Many consumer-oriented computers may not support the memory

remapping feature. No standard terminology is used in documentation or in

BIOS configuration utilities for this feature. Therefore, you may have to

read the descriptions of the various BIOS configuration settings that are

available to determine whether any of the settings enable the memory

remapping feature.

Have latest BIOS from SupermMicro

Memory Hole Remapping Enabled

• An x64 (64-bit) version of Windows Vista must be used.

I have Vista 64 Bit Ultimate

Conclusion:

The OS's system properties always says 3.071 GB of RAM when 4 GB is on the

board or when there is 2GB of ram on the board it says only 1.024 GB of RAM

From previous installs of Vista 64 Ive seen with my own eyes the system say

there is 4 GB ram installed and on a sidebar gadget seen the gadget display a

total of 4028 MB of ram But now says 3071. Whats happening to my computer

after the fresh install shouldnt it say 4 GB on system properties or 4028 MB

on the sidebar gadget. I hate this computer. This is the first issue and

until I fix this issue I'll wait on the next problem
