Your system is an older model of HP and has a built in graphics that partaking of the RAM. That's why your RAM is showing as he shows.

  • C55-A-19N satellite: 4 GB of RAM installed but only 2.39 is usable

    Hello

    I have Toshiba satellite A-C55-19N with Windows 7 32 bit. It has 4 GB of memory installed, but only 2.39 is usable.

    BIOS is the latest.
    I can't find the option to change anywhere in the system.

    My desktop with core i5 - 2500K can see 3.29 GB to 4 GB of RAM, why toshiba can not see?

    32-bit systems (no matter if its Win 7) Win XP, Vista etc.) supports only 3.2 GB of RAM
    It is the 32-bit boundary.

    The other small part (300 MB roundabout) is shared by the graphics card.
    Therefore, the system displays only 2.39 GB RAM

    Your memory is not listed.  Let me suggest to do a clean install with your 4gig of RAM, then after installing the operating system, add the extra 4gig.  See if it works.

    I read somewhere that someone had success in re-sitting their CPU on the motherboard.  If you are comfortable doing this, you can try it.  Otherwise, I would do the same type of memory that they have been reported as compatible for their mother.

  • 4 GB Ram installed but showing GB usable 2.49

    I need more ram to run an application that I have G32 HP windows 7 86 X enterprise edition with 2 GB of ram later I upgraded RAM with 2 GB more, in the BIOS it shows 4 GB but in the computer shows GB 2.49 usable properties,

    Troubleshooting I've done so far

    Changed the setting in msconfig and checked on optimize ram, change parameters with the processors, but nothing is

    Please suggest

    The amount, he can use isn't always 3.2 GB. It varies depending on what

    you have the hardware.

    All versions of Windows 32-bit client (XP/Vista/7 not only) have a 4GB

    address 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

    4 GB address space, you can use about 3. 1 GB of RAM. It's

    because some of the space is used by the hardware and is not available for

    operating 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 address space, not the real

    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.

  • RAM INSTALLED BUT NOT START THE COMPUTER

    MR. PRESIDENT IS RESPECTED,

    I HAVE G6-2312AX HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK COMPUTER. WINDOWS 8 IS INSTALLED IN. 4 GB OF RAM ALREADY THERE. NOW, I WANT TO ADD 4 GB MORE. I BOUGHT 4 GB OF RAM DDR3 1600 MHZ AND TRIED TO INSTALL IT. BUT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT. KINDLY TELL WHAT TO DO. JAI HIND

    It seems that if you did not put in a pair of identical bars or has not used the memry guaranteed compatible modules. You cannot use the module that was already there, unless you add is identical in every respect.

    Use only guarantee modules in identical pairs if you want your upgrade memory to work right the first time.

    I've recently updated the ram in my A100-583 from 1 GB to 2 GB.
    However, although the computer does not seem to run much faster, when I look at the properties of the system in the main general tab, it's only show that there is 1.99 GB it is a problem with the Ram, or is it just a glich with the System Properties window.

    All other system checks indicate that there are 2 GB in the comp... The ram I installed is corsair ddr2 sodimm 667 mhz/pc25300.
    {Any help with this will be appreciated thanks in advance: 8}

    I don t think that it is a problem of memory modules (RAM live).
    What is the BIOS reports?

    Still that memory could be shared with the GPU (graphics card), and the windows OS also uses some of the memory

    Don t you worry and there is everything ok ;)

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

    Hello.

    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.

    Memory: 2 GB PC3 - 10600 DDR3 1333 MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM) SDRAM - 2 c.

    What's wrong?

    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.

    The amount of memory usable did you have before the upgrade to 4 GB?

    What version of Windows are you using? It is 32-bit or 64-bit?

    What is the model number of your computer (for example: 4029-3EG)?

  • Tecra A9 - 4 GB of RAM installed again, only 3 GB recognized

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A9-SX9013 with 1 GB of installed RAM factory. I just bought and installed from Newegg, two sticks of Kingston 2 GB 200 PIN DDR2 memory RAM that I just installed on my laptop. The laptop will only recognize 3 GB as being installed on my system. I took the new memory back out and reinstalled it to make sure everything was connected.

    Since it is grateful to 3 GB of memory installed, it is reading the two sticks. However, it is only to show that there is 3 GB installed. I am running Windows XP Pro SP2.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi xlr8.

    This is normal on all PCs.

    32-bit operating systems are limited to 3 GB because the / 3GB-> 4 GB address space is used by the system virtually map memory for devices such as the video card.

    If you want to use all 4GB, you will need a 64-bit operating system.

    Google 'limit of 3 GB 32-bit' for more information.

  • Two vista operating system installed, but only starts

    Hello

    I hope someone could help me to overcome this problem:

    My laptop with vista venus hm so high-end, as I bought it in Germany had German language. So I bought ultimate in English and do a new installation. I was very happy with it, but yesterday I tried to install the original hp vista to do the dual boot. As it was provided by Toshiba Recovery CD, it was put directly to install on the HARD disk. I knew that it will erase all data, if there is, to HDD1 and install the operating system and other programs (as it was put in the BIOS to boot from there), but previously I already installed the ultimate in disk HARD 2. I thought, the vista hp will be in 1 HDD and ultimate will be in 2 HDD so I can choose at the beginning that one to start.

    However, after the installation of vista hp it show at the beginning of any other OS and just start with vista hp without giving no possibility to choose which start first. I checked this ultimate is also there, but I can't start. Can anyone, please, help me? I'd appreciate any suggestion, information and help. Thank you

  • 12 GB of RAM installed, 8 GB can be used.

    My apologies if this has been asked before, but I was not able to find a good answer.  In Control Panel, it was displaying
    Installed memory: 12,00 GB (8.00 GB usable)
    I unchecked maximum memory at startup MSCONFIG and checked my BIOS.
    For awhile, he showed all 12 were usable, so I doubt that it's a hardware problem.
