4 GB ram usable only 2.93

I have a hp probook 4530 s. It has 4 GB of ram, intel hd graphics 3000 and windows 7 32-bit. My laptop has 4 GB of ram, but when I go to properties it says I have only 2.93 usable. Why is this? What can I do to change this?

Well, maybe.  Windows 7 64 bit may indicate that he sees all of 4Gb of RAM.  That in itself does not mean that you will see any performance difference between the 32-bit install.   So I repeat what I said earlier "just because you know, it has 4 GB does not mean it will work any differently than it does now."

    Why the system writes: installed 4 GB of ram, but usable only 3.6 GB of ram?

    3.6 GB is a very good number - much higher than most people's.

    All versions of Windows 32-bit client (not just XP/Vista/7/8) have a
    Address 4 GB of space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's the
    theoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.

    But you can't use the whole address space. Even if you have a
    Address space of 4 GB, you can only use around 3. 1 GB of RAM (and as I
    said, you do much better than that). This is because some of
    This space is used by the hardware and is not available for the operation
    system and applications. The amount you can
    use varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but can
    range from as little as 2 GB to 3.5 GB. It's usually around
    3. 1 GB.

    Note that the hardware is using the space, not the real address
    The RAM itself. If you have a larger amount of RAM, the rest of the RAM
    goes unused because there is no address to map space to.

    Where are you seeing the 3.29 "usable"?  It would be fair that the rest is in fast cache.

  • ACER Aspire 4 gig of ram used only 1.74, how can I fix this?

    Hello

    I hope that I chose the right forum, if not, please go to the right place.

    I have an ACER Aspire 5552-5686, Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 graphics card. I have the latest version of my bios, 2.14

    I have 4 GB of RAM, but windows says only 1.74 is usable. This makes the really small system.

    The bios shows 256 MB is reserved for the video card, but there is no way to change the value.

    I installed the driver of the card later, he says that 893 MB is used for the video card. Here are the screenshots, sorry, french system:

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    It is the ram that came with your computer and how long have you had?

    Looks like one of the sticks failed. He knows that it is there, but cannot use it. That's why you have available 1.7. The autres.3 is used by the video card.

    I opened the bottom of your laptop to make sure that the ram is placed correctly.

    I'm not sure that your skill level thech but you can remove a stick and see if it boots always. You should see 2 GB available ram usable 1.7. Clear this check box and move the sticks. If it doesn't start with a single one of the sticks then theres your problem. You must replace a stick of RAM.

    Hello silencesys,

    lead_org is true that graphic design has your RAM.

    Gan says:

    Intel graphics card have no memory dedicated, but uses some of the computer's system memory.

    The amount of memory used for the graphics might be an amount fixed or may vary up to a maximum amount. It depends on if the computer manufacturer has configured the computer to use a fixed amount, a dynamic amount (ranging up to a maximum amount) or a combination of fixed and dynamic graphics memory amounts.

    City link:http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/R-and-L-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/4gb-ram-installed-but-only-2-43gb-usable...

    In other words the RAM that is missing from your 4 GB is set aside for your integrated graphics.  If your operating system will recognize only the 3.6 GB as usable.

    Hope this helps,

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300D - 11O 800 MHz RAM installed, only to 667 MHz

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300D-11O, which has a single stick of 1 GB 800 MHz RAM installed. However this RAM work only at 667 MHz. I checked this in Linux and Windows Vista.

    The laptop is announced as to have 800 MHz RAM on this page:

    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook ie = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055796

    The manual of the user who wrote:

    "PC2-6400 memory module works as PC2-5300 speed the GL40 Express Chipset Express chipset/GL965"

    I don't know what chipset I have, and it would be surprised that this would be the case that the above Web site explicitly states RAM 800 MHz.

    Can someone tell me please?

    Hello!

    Now I'm a bit confused of Mr. I think you did search in the wrong user's manual because the Satellite L300D has no Intel chipset.
    On the Toshiba site, you can download the manual for Satellite L300D:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online download user manual

    I think that your chipset only supports 667 MHz. normally the RAM always works on the highest speed that is supported by the chipset.
    Check the specifications with Everest or PC Wizard 2008.

    Good bye

  • Installed to 32 GB of RAM but only 16 GB usable

    I have an iMac 27 ", end of 2013 model. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on it via BootCamp.

    I ordered (4) 8 GB of RAM from Crucial.com and install myself.

    Now iMac says he sees the 32 GB but only 16 GB is usable. I have already confirmed on the Apple Support site that this computer can indeed be upgraded to 32 GB. What I'm doing wrong or have not yet done?

    All Ram modules have the same specifications?

    204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

    It is very important.

    Did you leave the original Ram in and simply added, or have you put 4 new Ram modules that you suggest and take the original outside?

  • I have 4 GB of RAM, but only 3.75 GB are usable/available: why?

    I bought a desktop computer Dell Inspiron 400 in 2010.

    It has a processor AMD Athlon 2650c installed with a captivity of memory RAM of 4 GB but only 3.75 GB is usable or available, why? Where's the other Go.25?

    There are a few possibilities.  If you use a 32-bit operating system, there is not enough bits of address (to use) more than this amount of memory, so the rest (le.25) is literally inaccessible to the system.

    If you have a 64 bit OS and it still shows, it is because your system is reserving some of them to be used for low level such as video memory system functions.

  • only 3 GB ram usable in system properties

    I have a computer dell laptop that have 4 GB of ram on board...

    in the bios, that it shows that I have 4 GB, but in system properties, it shows that I have only 3 GB of usable ram... I use 32 bit windows7 ultimate.

    can pls help change the settings so that I can use all 4 GB of RAM I have.

    32-bit (x 86) architecture may not use more than 3 120 MB (3 GB) of RAM. 64-bit (x 64) architecture can. As such, there are no settings to change.
    There is an upper limit of 4 GB of RAM for 32-bit systems, but the largest amount of RAM that can be used by the operating system can vary between 3 and 3.5 GB
    This KB is good for Vista, explains why. See the workaround :

    System memory shown in the system information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than expected if the 4 GB of RAM is installed

    Furthermore, there is an hardware and drivers for Windows 7 forum or a forum for performance and Maintenance for Windows 7, that this question should be displayed instead of there, Windows Update forum. Please do the next time, pranavjoshi.

    Hello

    X 86 Windows will not be able to see more than 4 GB, so it will not work. Now, JUST try to 4 GB to see (and normally its usable is around 3.25 to 3.75 GB).  If you want to use more than 4 GB, you need 64-bit operating system.

  • 4 GB of ram installed, but usable only 2.43 GB

    Recently, I upgraded my new laptop (thinkpad L512: 2 GB of ram, originally) with a new 2 GB ram.

    I was expecting to the usable memory must be at least 3 GB, but it appeared that only 2.43 GB is used.

    I don't know why this is happening.

    I checked the BIOS and changed the memory location two, but he showed that only 2.43 GB is used.

  • In Windows 7 has 4 GB of ram but only 2.75 gb usable

    I have
    Win7 32 bit os.
    AMD phenom II x 2 550 processor
    4 GB of ram

    but it shows only 2.75 GB usable.

    Why so much?

    A 32-bit operating system is not able to use more than 2.75 GB of RAM (maximum addressable memory is 2 * 32, which is about 2.75 gig). In order to use full 4 GB of RAM, you need a 64-bit operating system.

  • Windows says 6 GB usable only 4 GB of ram

    My bios says I have 6 GB of Ram installed and when I checked my ram under windows he says 6 GB usable I use windows 7 Home premium 64-bit only 4 GB of ram. Is there a setting to make it work with 6 GB of ram

    Hi Keefy1,
     
    On a computer that is running a 64-bit Windows 7 version, usable memory may be less than the installed memory (RAM).

    This is expected behavior on computers that are running Windows 7. The reduction in available system memory depends on the configuration of the following:
    1. the devices that are installed in the computer and on the memory reserved by these devices
    2. the ability of the motherboard to manage memory
    3. the BIOS version and settings
    4. other system settings
     
    To see how it is allocated the memory installed in Windows 7, follow these steps:
    1. click on start, type in the box resource monitor search programs and files, and then click Resource Monitor in the list programs.
    2. click on the memory tab and then view the physical memory section on the bottom of the page.
     
    There are several additional situations that could cause the usable RAM is less than expected. These issues and possible solutions are listed in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978610
     
    I hope this helps.
     
    Kind regards
