Why the bios program on my pc read the memory as 3326MB but I have 4 pcs 1 gig PC667 DDR2 modules on board?
On my Windows Vista’s ’system information’ section, the memory(RAM) also read as 3326 MB. Back to the bios program, it says there that the Physical Memory is 4096 MB while the User Memory is 3326 MB. There seems a 1 Gig memory missing, I tried to interchange the 4 memory modules but gave me the same rating. I also tried to to interchange 3 modules at a time and it read just fine in any random positions. Please help, I dont know what to do here guys. Thanks!
My system info: Intel Core2 Quad, 2.4 GHZ; MSI P35 Neo motherboard; 4 units Kingston PC667 DDR2 memory modules; Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Retail Version, 32 bit version
Some here are full of it. Windows 32bit Vista will support 4 GBs of ram. The reason you dont see it all is because you dont have a motherboard with a chipset that supports memory mapping. I have 64bit Ultimate in 2 rigs, both with 4 GBs of the same exact 667 XMS. The one with the 945p chipset that doesn’t have memory mapping shows 3299 even with 64bit Vista. The one with the 955X chipset that has memory mapping shows all 4096. The system reserves memory to run the system and the more hardware you have the more it reserves. Althou you only show 3326 your system is still using 4096. If you put 64bit Vista in you’d see the same thing. It’s normal and is nothing to worry about. Theres a rumor that SP1 is supposed to change that so boards without memory mapping will show all 4.
