Pavilion a1250n: cannot use 4 GB of memory on 64-bit operating system
I resurrected this PC to give to my grandson, so I added 2 GB more memory.
But when he starts, he sees only 3 GB.
The configuration of the BIOS shows all 4 sticks of 1 GB.
I ran the test memory Windows startup, and it shows all 4 GB and it extracted all OK.
But, the properties of PC watch 4GB installed, 2.75 GB usable.
I confirmed that Max Memory has been disabled in the MSCONFIG startup parameters.
Googling has provided advice to set up activate Memory Remap in BIOS - but there is no such setting, in fact, there are NO parameters associated with the memory in the BIOS.
I am running the latest version of the BIOS - there is no update.
I use an add-in video card GeForce and hoped there will be a setting in the BIOS to avoid system memory allocated to the integrated video chipset, but only focus on the video entry is to choose what video is the main, and I already defined on PCI - E.
I am at one loss as to what else to do...
Hello:
What you see is probably normal for a PC with an AMD chipset this old.
I know for a fact that on a desktop computer Intel, you must run with a chipset 965 or newer which takes in charge of 8 GB of memory or more, so that Windows to "see and use" 4 GB of physical memory.
These PC that can support 4 GB memory shows the same amount of memory usable net as a 32-bit operating system.
There is nothing you can do about it.
I guess the same goes for AMD platforms... you probably have a PC with a chipset that can take over 8 GB or more memory on order for Windows to "see and use" all of the 4 GB of physical memory.

How should be written the script for the use of the maximum memory of the guest operating system ever?
Please teach the name of the object and the type and order, etc.
You should be able to do it with the cmdlet Get-Stat .
Something like that
Get-Stat -Entity (Get-VM $vmName) -Stat mem.usage.maximum -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | Measure-Object -Property value -Maximum | Select Maximum
This will return the maximum percentage in the last 7 days for the guests, whose name is stored in the variable $vmName.

I plan to upgrade my OS to El Capitan. What are the processor speed and memory required for the operating system works well?
I use a processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 with DDR3 4 GB 1333 MHz memory.
My last similar attempt on another machine resulted in a very slow computer.
Thanks, Ron
Apple says the following:
General requirements
- OS X 10.6.8 or later version
- 2 GB memory
- 8.8 GB of available storage
For best performance, I would say not less 4 GB and preferably 8 GB or more.
Your i5 is well able to support properly.

I have a HP Pavilion a1615.uk (RF783AA) and I want to upgrade the hardware so I can install a 64-bit operating system. What should I do to make a 64-bit system? It is an upgrade of the bios or it means new equipment?
Thank you very much
Mrsbex
Hello
Normally, for modern machines we only need the 64 bit operating system itself and the drivers appropriate to go with it. There is no need to upgrade the hardware except we may want more RAM to use the 64 bit OS.
In your case, the machine is too old, my suggestion is to buy a new machine. In the long run, can be cheaper than buying part and piece of component to upgrade the existing.
Kind regards

There are video games that are compatible with windows 7 64 bit operating systems?
Hello Peter.
Yes almost all games in 10 years works perfectly on 64-bit Windows. What Call of Duty games are you having problems with? If the first two, you might have to enter the video drivers for your graphics card/computer manufacturer as the first two required OpenGL which is not included with the drivers that Windows uses by default (this has been the case since at least Windows XP).
