10 32-bit Windows uses only 3 GB of RAM, despite a higher setting in VMware

I just created a 32-bit Windows 10 virtual machine fees. No matter how I put the memory in VMware settings, Windows 10 reports that 3 GB of RAM.


Why is configured for 4 GB of RAM?

Here are the steps I took:

* I've created and activated a new Windows 7 32 - bit (pre - SP1) since an installation DVD. This Windows 7 original had material v11, 2 hearts, and 2048 MB of RAM in VMware settings.

* I mounted the ISO image of CD / DVD of Windows 32-bit and run 10 the installer of Windows 7. I did a "clean install" (do not store data, applications, etc.).

* I updated Windows 10 entirely and the VMware Tools installed.

* I changed the setting from memory several times to 6144 and 8192 MB, but nothing has changed.

* I also changed hardware v12 and changed the type of operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Despite the changes, 10 (32-bit) Windows reports only 3 GB of physical memory. I checked systeminfo (3071 MB), System-> settings (3.00 GB) and several other sources, and they are all auto-coherent to 3 GB.

The Configuration of the system, advanced STARTUP Options, memory Maximum box is unchecked (disabled).

Any ideas?

Please take a look at VMware KB https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1014006 which explains the 3 072 MB limit, i.e. the reserve of memory of 1 024 MB.

Article:

PC architecture reserves a part of the address space that is less than 4 GB for PCI devices. This space cannot be used for system memory. Note also that this is one of the main reasons for clients not to recognize that all assigned physical memory.

    Hi JamBoard,

    It is possible, that you need to install the drivers for the controller.  You can get them from here:

  • SpeedGrade CC 2014.2 build 8.2x51 reading smoothing / jerky 4K with GPU R9 295 x 2 - it uses only 2 GB of RAM (8.1 Windows 64-bit), Mac OS - same problem

    Hello, guys

    I have following configuration:

    I7-5960 x 4.3 GHz

    32 GB DDR4 RAM

    ATI 295 x 2 8 GB (Gpusniffer.exe watch 3072 MB on each unit of Hawaii)

    Samsung XP941 Ultra M.2 (> 1000 Mb/s)

    Some 850 Pro SSD for H.264 4 k source

    Latest version of Speedgrade CC 16/02/2015 (DUAL MONITOR SETUP - 2560 x 1440 for Interface and 4096 x 2160 for previewing)

    I work with a lot of short 10-15 seconds 4 K 4096 x 2160 24 fps H.264 clips of Panasonic GH4. Import their first CC as some stabilization warp, cut them, save the project and opened in Speedgrade CC all are fantastic smooth in first CC.

    Speedgrade - a simple color - exhibition, some keyframes and simple scoring correction for certain substances. I use the GPU acceleration for sure have lots of 4096 x 2160 4K 24 fps. But it is not flexible and smooth after that a correction is applied. Everything is jerky and freezes the first seconds, when I press 'PLAY'. I used resources, the Manager monitor tasks (Winodws 8.1 64-bit) and Afterburner. And there's what I discovered:

    • Afterburner shows the use of mono-GPU (as we know it for playback only 1 GPU used) the same amount as in first. SpeedGrade CC use 2, 5 GB of VRAM. Also, if I use one zero effect - accelerating gpu, like "transform", for example, imported first, I get "not enough GPU resources" message in Speedgrade. Afterburner shows, CC Speedgrade tried to use more, and then Max 3GB available VRAM during that time. So I turn off these effects, before you open a project in Speedgrade.

    • CPU is low (15%) use, perhaps a little lower, then in the first CC

    • Disc - 3-10%, H.264 is weak on this subject

    • RAM! -is the problem. I have been authorized to use the 29 GB of RAM for Adobe apps. Speedgrade CC use no more then 2-3 GB according to the the Task Manager (for most 2 GB) and 8.1 Windows resource monitor 64-bit Pro. After I finished with the color correction, a project open in first DC, work with lumteri on smooth and! First CC use 9 to 10 GB of RAM to play the same music video in full resolution smoothly!


    I already reinstalled everything, including drivers for the GPU, 8.1 for Windows and Adobe CC even result.

    MacBook Pro 15 retina end 2013 with i7-4960HQ/16 GB of RAM/Geforce 750 m UPDATE!

    Under Mac Os Yosemite 10.10.2 - same situation here. First CC use 5 GB (of 11 GB of available) 4096 x 2160 Prores 422 HQ and is usable, smooth with a few drops of frame.

    SpeedGrade CC uses 2.5 GB RAM of 4096 x 2160 and it is impossible to use plenty of 4096 x 2160. Only 1/2 resolution of overview is smooth and usable on the screen of the laptop. 4096 x 2160 externally connected through Thunderbolt monitor, it's a lot rougher, I think it's hard for 750 m with 2 GB of VRAM.

    UPDATE! Previous version (CC 2014) of first CC and CC Speedgrade Windows 8.1 64-bit - even situation.


    What do you think?


    My opinion - Speedgrade CC is not optimized for 4K resolution. First CC is good for 4K.

    BTW, for more information, latest AMD catalyst driver 14.12 omega has a problem with my R9 295 x 2 and engine reading Mercury (MPE) OpenCL - just black with sound screen, when I turn on the GPU acceleration. So I use the previous version of 14.9. With 14.12 GPUsniffer.exe found a device with 4 GB of VRAM GPU and a GPU with 3 GB of VRAM (normally obligatorily 3 + 3 GB 295 x 2 Dual GPU radeon chip).

    Yes

    So, finally, Speedgrade CC works 95% smooth time with 4096 * 2160 H.264. But it was necessary to turn off all effects in first Pro CC. Nothing new. I found a few discussions on this fact, but after that I spent some time with experiences.

    Stabilizer Warp even alone is enough to make Speedgrade CC really agitated. 'Transform' effect simply blocks Speedgrade CC with "GPU resources.

    Each effect uses some VRAM (for Warp stabilizer 200-300 MB). After you have disabled all effects had load VRAM under/near 2 GB for the little clip 4096 * 2160.

    First CC flies simply with unique x 290 or 295 x 2 (which is the only x 290 during playback). Even 3GB VRAM available software Adobe CC.

    PS Macbook Pro retina 15 "with Geforce 750 M 2 GB VRAM would work smoothly with Prores to half a preview/playback resolution - 2048 * 1080. CC CC SpeedGrade or Premiere Pro with 1/2.

    Hi pcstan

    I would like to know what version of the operating system are you using? It is 32-bit or 64-bit?
    You can try the following methods: -.
    1. change setting memory remapping in BIOS. This setting can have different names, look at the motherboard or computer manual.
    2. run msconfig.exe. Under Startup go to advanced options and change your maximum memory available.
    This can help you

  • Satellite Pro A60 - Windows XP shows / use only a part of RAM available

    Hello guys!

    I am facing strange problems with one of my two A60s. I just upgraded two of them with 1024 MB of RAM the same. One works perfectly, but the other will show me only 410 MBs in Windows. The BIOS indicates the correct size. I changed the RAM from one to the other, but this strange error is always present. The version of the BIOS has been updated to 1.90 and has Windows XP SP2.

    Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Is there an easy way to put the management of RAM in Windows?

    Thank you in advance!

    Ralf

    It s very strange.
    I found that an additional Satellite Pro A60 info has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
    Some A60 Pro comes with an internal memory of 512 MB and others with only 256 MB internal memory.
    In addition, the internal memory modules cannot be deleted and there is only one slot for memory upgrade.

    But I put t know why the OS shows only 410 MB

    Oh, I forgot to mention that the graphics card, also use the part of the main memory and, therefore, the operating system of shared memory could indicates a value of different memory.

    Hello

    Toshiba technical support:

    * There are several conditions to use all 4 GB memory on a laptop computer that has 4 GB of memory installed *.

    The chipset must support 8 GB of address space.
    Intel PM965 and GM965 chipsets and newer or AMD64 CPU could process up to 8 GB.
    for example, the family of chipsets Intel 945 endured only upwards of 4 GB address space.

    The CPU must support instruction set 64 - bit mode (Intel? EM64T or AMD64).
    For Intel CPU, it could be checked on the Intel Web site: http://processorfinder.intel.com/

    The BIOS must support the memory remapping feature.
    The newer BIOS versions are supporting this feature.

    A 64 bit version of the Windows operating system. Note: All the above mentioned conditions must be met to use all 4 GB memory on a laptop.

    Your laptop motherboard supports up to 4 GB, Windows 64-bit installed. Perhaps, you must update the Bios.

    That being said, people here are recommending tons of ram, such as 32 GB +, but why? If this is the case? Maybe my computer needs more complex effects such as the production of grain?

    The number reported at the bottom of the request for use of the RAM is only the amount used by the foreground application. It has nothing to do with how much is used by the instance of After Effects context or assistance process.

    CBD

    Others Go 0.54 is normal and probably shared video RAM.  I suspect that you are not interpret correctly because they are different from those of win 7 or before.

    You can have 1.46 usable but perhaps up to half of the fast cache ram anticipating your actions.

    If you are looking for this because you feel that your machine is slow is not the problem.
