Question on the limitation of the RAM

I use Windows 7 x 86 ultimate (SP1) on a computer laptop 4 GB ram
I am well aware of the limited memory posed by Microsoft, but why he only 2.16 GB usable memory?

page
http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/desktop/aa366778%28V=vs.85%29.aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7
shows that for 7 ultimate, the limit is 4 GB
How is the limit for my laptop only 2.16?

Edit:
is there somehow I can ask Microsoft to remove this limitation? as quite the player, the more RAM is better for me, and this unusable GB 1.8 is quite disturbing

As you know, the limitation is the 32-bit operating system you have chosen to run.  You want to use the memory better, get 64-bit Windows.

Your material is to eat the rest of your memory with my guess it being likely to centre around a video camera, you have probably chosen to improve your gaming experience.

Your solution, once again, is to set up a 64-bit operating system.  That's all.

Do you have Windows 7 is pre-installed (OEM license) or did you buy this detail (the retail license)?

  • Equium A60-692: Question on the RAM size

    I have an Equium a60-692, which indicates that she has a 256 MB DDR Ram. When I check the system, he says he has 197 MB of Ram. I am told that this is due to the pilot of the screen using the other 60 MB. Which seems big to me or is this normal? I also find that the machine is slow to start and open programs. Is it because of the limited amount of Ram (197 MB)? An increase in Ram would solve my problem?

    Hi Ron,

    You available RAM is 256 MB, and that the BIOS reserves a small portion for the graphics card. The normal distribution is 64 MB for that you will 192Mo of left RAM for use by the operating system. 64 MB is quite normal for the use of graphics (and is small enough to some modern games). You may be able to reduce the amount (say, at 32 MB) in your BIOS (check allocation UMA).

    Slow loading may indicate that your HARD drive is a grooming needs. I recommend running Disk Cleanup on your Start menu, followed by Disk Defragmenter also in the menu START. This will ensure that you schedule the files and folders are properly located and organized for use.

    Increasing your RAM probably will not help your slow loading problem, although it will improve the performance of games and utilities of great resources by reducing the use of the swap file.

  • Tecra M3 - questions about the RAM maximum and graphics driver update

    Hi people,

    I have a Tecra M3 (Variant FBCF with the Geforce 6600 w / 128 MB) and I have two questions that I hope someone here can help me with:

    (1) what is the maximum amount of RAM that I can install here? The manual says 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), but I do not see why the laptop would be paralyzed this necessary way, cause as far as I know the 915G chipset can handle 4 GB of RAM. If anyone knows definitively what?

    (2) the latest drivers from nvidia for XP are 2005. As most of you probably know, nvidia systematically more than past performance with versions driver and adds compatibility with some games that end up in trouble. The real driver from the nvidia site does not install because it says that it cannot find any compatible hardware. Can't Toshiba even a pilot updated annually? There is a driver of 2007 for Vista, I can't believe that if they did, they decide refresh the XP one while they were to him. Any chance of their audience on this here? I could force the nvidia.com driver to install, but I don't think that it's necessarily a great idea.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    the maximum amount specified for this machine memory is 2 GB and 4 GB not but you can try it with 2x2gb modules.

    With regard to your graphics: Don t use the nvidia driver since it is not suitable for mobile graphics chipsets and has no timing in the driver that is needed to run flawlessly.

    I'd rather you to view laptopvideo2go and download some drivers here. :)

  • New on Apple computers - Question on the use of the memory (RAM)

    Hello

    I recently bought a rMBP 13 "with 8 GB of RAM. This is only my third time (I started for the first time last night). Here is a screenshot I took of the memory usage after starting it on for the first time. My question is: is it normal to see that most of the memory is in use, even if I only have Safari (1 inactive tablet on the homepage of Google) and open the activity monitor? I'm afraid that this is rare and not have a lot of wrong answers online.

    Second question, if someone has knowledge: 8 GB of RAM is good enough to run software such as MATLAB, AutoCAD and SolidWorks? Or 16 GB would be better? I still have time to exchange the rMBP.

    ElCapitan is designed to use as much RAM as possible at all times for efficient operation.  She will move to a video buffer, operations of common files, etc. in the RAM and the y keep in case he should run again.  CBS will move embusked operations out of RAM if new operations is displayed.

    As for "enough RAM for your planned tasks", 8 GB might be enough, given the fast read/write of the SSD and the very fast moving data in the SWAP file on the SSD.  But if you have any doubt, you have 14 days to return without any doubt and re - buy a Go 156 system.

  • Question about the extension of RAM for Satellite A50-522

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A50-522, with a Pentium M 715 @1. 5 Ghz processor and Intel 855GME chipset. To expand its RAM I referred to the Spain/Toshiba support website and I bought the PA3313U-2M1G (1 GB SDRAM 166 MHz DDR333/PC2700) via amazon.com. It turns out that this RAM is for "Alviso chipsets" - which are those relating to the Intel Centrino processors with 9xx series express chipset. I called Toshiba/USA and they recommend the PA3313U-1M1G or its equivalent Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G (since it is impossible to find in the Mexico), instead of the one I already bought. They all seem exactly the same thing in their description, except for the note "alviso chipset.

    My questions are:
    (a) is the chipset of this computer, considered "alviso" type? and
    (b) if not, should I keep the RAM I bought already (PA3313U-2M1G for alviso chipset)?, can I have performance or compatibility problems? What are the risks of the use of this "alviso RAM' in a 'no-alviso chipset? I deeply appreciate your input.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The RAM modules for especially for chipsets alviso are not known to me, but the Satellite A50-522 certainly supports the memory PC2700 PA3313U-1M1G bar.
    I guess the PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G are the same modules from memory.

    PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G memory module are supported the same specifications of 1 GB - SO DIMM 200 pin - DDR - 333 MHz PC2700

    I think you can use both modules without any problem.

  • Suggestions and Questions about the upgrade my Hardrive Mac and Ram.

    Hi This is my first time asking something in the forums. (At least I think) Well anyway, I got the Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 "with the retina also runs the OS El captain. I do computer for school and sometimes animation video editing and ive noticed some performance as my projects get bigger and bigger issues. I want to improve my mac, but I'm not very tech savy and don't want to do something useless, so I had a few questions, I wanted to ask you.

    Do I need for my hard drive and my Ram?

    What effect will the upgrade of my Ram and what effect will be upgrading my hard drive with an SSD?

    I saw this SSD online and thought of novice opion that sounds get Id more bang for my buck (link) with her. Is this good? What more to kill? WiIll it still works? Could you suggest some other good affordable options?

    My next question if I decide to upgrade my Ram can provide you with some good affordable links to buy of new RAM sticks, is also 8 GB, the best he can do?

    My next question I watched a few videos online and by installing the updates level looks really easy and fast. But I use bootcamp (to play games sometimes), and I wanted to know if I save my files on my drive as ive seen people do videos, (something to wipe the drive and put it back in after installing updates) will be I lose my windows 7, I lost the disc to reinstall and he check so I really want to buy a new also do not want to lose the things I put in memory.

    From the retina MacBooks you is impossible to pass the ram as it is soldered to the logic board. As with the hard drive, it's just a card ssd and you can't get those anywhere because their hard to find.

  • Satellite P200-1BA - questions about the HARD drive RAM upgrade

    There is a 2nd internal HARD drive Bay, but not a female connector. Can I install it? How?
    There are 2 slots for RAM, all together 2 GB. Is it possible to exit an and instead place a token 2 GB to 3 GB total or should I always double channel pair RAM?

    It is not possible to install the second HARD drive. The laptop box is universal for all models P200, but some of them are delivered with 2 drives hard HDD upgrade is not possible.

    With the RAM modules, you can do what you want. To be more precise, YES! You can remove a 1 GB module and put 2 GB RAM. Please just use high quality Rams and not some products without name at low cost.

  • Question on the increase after upgrading RAM on Satellite M70-159

    Very interesting...
    A 128 MB video memory (Sam. D? 70-159). increased the RAM to 2 GB. The volume of retained began to appear as 256 Mb. He worked a HyperMemory? ¢.

    If I increase the RAM 4 GB, there will be a video memory 512?

    Hello

    This is normal, as the retained will be put how much RAM you have in your system. But if I were you, I would stay on 2 GB because when the upgrade to 4 GB you will only have around 3 GB memory available because the stored will increase to 768 MB or something around. This is not a bug, because the chipset does automatically and unfortunately not possible to manually edit it s.

    But don t ask me why this is so. I have the same problem with my Satellite A100 and I Don t really need as much memory graphics.

  • Satellite L10-205: the RAM size has really questions?

    My Satellite L10-205 received just 256 MB of RAM. What I do or is it necessary to increase the size of the RAM. What is the best size to speed up the performance of my laptop. Can someone give me tips, please thank you.

    Hello

    Well, the high memory value gives you portable more performance.
    The fact is that the new software needs of more memory. As much as I know this laptop also shipped with shared memory graphics card. In your case if the graphics card uses 64 MB main memory if the software can use only 192 MB.
    In my opinion the laptop should a min 512 MB.
    You can upgrade your laptop with PC2100 DDR - RAM maximum. 1024MB.

    These modules are memory compatible:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)

  • Question about the maximum amount of RAM on Satellite U400-10J

    Hi all!

    2 weeks ago, I bought Satellite U400-10j.
    Now, I want to extend the RAM.

    This chipset is inside my laptop?

    Does he really support only 2 GB of RAM?

    Hello

    I wonder if you have checked the user manual installed which must be preinstalled on the laptop.

    In any case, as far as I know that the memory on U400-10J can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB).
    DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules are compatible and it seems that the Chipset Mobile Intel GL960 Express was built in.

  • Question on the frequency of the RAM - Tecra M5-384

    Hello, everyone!

    I am considering buying a Toshiba Tecra M5-384, but there is one thing that concerns me - system memory. In the specifications , it is written that the technology of system memory is DDR2 533 MHz.

    This means that I can't use DDR2 677 MHz?

    Hello

    I am not a technician, but in my opinion, you should always use tested and absolutely recommended hardware components. That s my general opinion.

    You can use module more fast but be realistic. Do you really think this will help? AFAIK slower module will be running 533 MHz. The best thing you can do is to increase the RAM to max level using modules of memory live recommended. On this way, you will be sure that everything will be ok.
