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.

BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

I installed 6 GB of RAM, but only 2 GB can be used
Hi I looked for an answer to my request, but I found the same answer everywhere and it does not
I run Windows 7 64 bit and I have 6 GB of installed RAM (Yes in the system it says that its installed) BUT
He said also only 2 GB of ram is usable out of that 6 GB?
Now, my GPU (Asus geforce gtx 470) says in the manual it has 1 GB of memory dedicated, so that leaves 3 GB missing lol
In my BIOS my PC says I have 2 GB of TOTAL ram? Now, it's an important goal. I have an Asus p7p55d-e pro motherboard. Any help as to how I can check if the ram IS working properly or how to make this usable ram?
Thank you!
What RAM do you use? Also update the BIOS, please. Remove the gain of RAM and put it back. Maybe it is not properly installed. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

Satellite Pro A120 - 2GM RAM but only 896 MB recognized
Hello
I have the same model and similar problem then would not start a new thread.I just removed the stick a 512 mb and replaced with 2 sticks of 1 GB, but when I check in system information it shows only 896 MB.
This should be about 1 800 MB, I think.
What I have to change all the settings so that it can recognize the two sticks?Dave W
Hello
There s no need to change the settings in order to recognize all the RAM.
The BIOS should detect the two RAM modules automatically.In your case I suppose that a module of RAM was not recognized and therefore shows only 896 MB.
The small part of RAM is located by the graphics card and is why it shows only 896 MB.Welcome them

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.
Kind regards.

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 rambut 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.

It's leaving you with 2.99 GB usable after the address space of the equipment is subtracted from the 4 gb total.
To use your full 12 GB, you will need to run the 64-bit operating system...

Satellite L850-D2S - 8 GB of RAM but only 2.72 GB available
D2S-L850 satellite PSKG8R-03S003RU. Windows 8. It's a 4 GB of RAM. In the 'system information' was written 4 (2.72 available) RAM. Set the bar for another 4 GB. He was 8 (2.72 available) RAM. Why only 2.72 available?
How do you ensure to use more RAM? Sorry for bad translation.
I am from RussiaThe laptop supports max 16 GB of RAM. So you should be able to use max RAM 2x8GB
I think you should try this:1. press Windows + R key.
2. then type MSCONFIG
2. System Configuration window appears on the screen.
3. click on the tab named "boot".
4. click on "Advanced Options" and uncheck the box 'memory Maximum.

Equium L20 with 256 MB of RAM but only 191 MB are available
I was wondering if someone could explain what is happening with the RAM memory on my machine.
It says it comes with 256 MB of DDR2 RAM. I can't run Norton antivirus to all pc games requiring a 256 MB of RAM as it keeps 'only 191 MB of RAM' available
Can someone explain what is happening?
Thank you very much
Just reply:
The laptop uses the shared video memory card.
(Perhaps an ATI RADEON Xpress 200 M graphics card with available 32 MB to 128 MB.)
Currently, the video graphics card sharing 65 MB of main memory. (256 MB 191 MB = 65 MB) -
ProBook 4720 s Windows 7: I have 4 GB of RAM but only 2.99 GB is usable
Specifications for the ProBook s 4720 said memory maximum support is 8 GB, so of course material and the BIOS can support more than 4 GB.
I just added 2 GB to the original 2 GB. The computer properties is reported now only 2.99 GB usable. I can understand if the chipset and BIOS has a limit of 4 GB. Why is - what happens on my ProBook?
I couldn't find anything in the BIOS, set up that could change that.
Is all the same to recover the missing 1 GB? Thank you.
its because your shared video memory use. the embedded video processor uses a certain amount of memory in the computer for video output...

4 GB of RAM, but 2, 99 GB usable on NB510-117
Hello world
I bought the netbook NB510-117 one a few months ago and I recently upgraded the memory to 4 GB. So, in order to exploit all the RAM, I installed windows 7 ultimate which recognizes the memory up to 4 GB. The problem is that in the properties of my computer says Windows ' installed memory: 4 GB (2 GB usable 99).
Obviously the RAM I bought is appropriate ([4 GB DDR3 1066 Mhz | http://s16.postimage.org/4yu4q0zph/Capture.png])
What is going on?
Thank you
