  Hello:

  The memory problem you reported is normal.

  Part of memory has been reserved for some devices of system such as the integrated graphics card.

  The issue of the video card does not...

  I see the product that your PC came with factory-installed W8.1.

  In order to get a video card no HP to work, you need to change 2 settings of the BIOS before installing your video on any PC card that came with W8 or newer version of the factory.

  See this link to change the BIOS settings.

  Also before you install your video card, you must uninstall the graphics card in Device Manager, check the box uninstall driver, stop, disconnect the PC and install your video card.

  You can do this after you change the BIOS settings.

• USABLE RAM IS JUST 2.66 GB INSTEAD OF 4 GB

  
  

  Hello

  When you initially purchased your machine came with 4 GB of RAM installed? I ask this is because 32-BIT Windows o / s only recognize up to 3 GB, even if RAM you installed physically. There are ways to get 32-BIT o / s to recognize your joined installed RAM but not reliable and recommendable.   Have you upgraded to Win 7 from Vista or XP or also is Win 7 the pre-installed o/s that you bought your machine. If you could see, for example, 4 GB RAM usable on Vista then that is because HP manipulate the 32 bit pre-installed o/s to visibly see 4 GB not the Afore mentioned 3 GB MAX.

• Since upgrading my ram installed shows 4 gb but says now only 2.93 GB usable why?

  Since I've upgraded to Windows 7 my ram poster now only 2.93 GB usable of my 4 GB.  Why would it be?  And that would be why my system seems slower since upgrade?  The performance is not as fast it was before Vista.  I am more than a little confused!  Why it does not use the full 4 GB?  Only just noticed this, so if someone wouldn't mind to tell me if there is problem I would be very grateful, I'm sure it was something before the 3 upgrade!

  Hi Linda,.

  There is actually a very technical reason for what you see, but basically it's because you're using a 32-BIT operating system.  If you use a 64-BIT operating system you would not see the problem.

  If you are interested, this post does a good job of explaining it is http://blogs.msdn.com/hiltonl/archive/2007/04/13/the-3gb-not-4gb-ram-problem.aspx , but basically, it's down to the way that the operating system uses the memory and how it spread what you can and cannot use.

  Long story short, that if you stay with 32 BIT, you're stuck with this...

  Hope this helps,

• 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.

• Edge E530 4 GB RAM (usable 3.6)

  Hello

  in my Thinkpad Edge E530 Windows showing 4.00 GB of RAM but only 3.60 GB usable, is this normal?

  I use 64-bit Windows.

  Sorry for the bad English.

  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,

• Satellite Pro A200 - shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  2 years ago I had a Satellite Pro A200 as a professional laptop and it works with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB, it shows 2 GB memory in Windows - and I know it's a Radeon 7500 with 256 MB memory graphics individual, and there is no shared memory.

  I upgraded to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32-bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems, I've seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.

  So, where's the memory? It looks like a bug - the chips of memory have two 2 GB I checked this. Because it's a company laptop I can not just switch to 64-bit XP :-(

  There's no option in the BIOS - first I thought that it is the graphics card, but mine has independent graphics with own memory so that the computer comes up with MB 2048 or 4096 after the upgrade.

  Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM for the operating system as my private EEEpc.

  Hi shadowmaster_1,

  > I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32 bit
  Then why do you ask this question here if you already know? Moreover, it s not a limitation in XP, it s a material limitation on all 32-bit systems

  > only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista
  And who says that Windows 2003 or Vista can use 4 GB? Okay, there's an update for Vista where 4 GB correct displayed in system properties, but that doesn't make no difference. Vista 32 bit peut t use all of 4GB, it s only cosmetic improvements! ;)

  > So where is memory?
  Memory is installed on your computer, but can t be used complelty with a 32 bit OS.

  At the end of the story: If you want to use 4 GB, you need to install a 64 bit OS. On all the 32 bit OS, you can use only upward to ~3.2GB RAM!

• Tecra M10 - Diagnostic mode shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I have 2 Tecra M10-133 and M10J. In both cases, the system BIOS shows 4 GB (4096 MB) memory total. When I activate the Diagnostic Mode (Enable) and restart the system, this shows the following:

  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 1 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 2 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 3 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 4 OK

  Some body knows the reason why does not not the 4096MB of RAM?

  Thank you very much..!

  Hello

  I'm not very well why the diagnosis Mode shows same 3072MB 4 GB are inserted m but what value of memory is reported by the Windows operating system?
  Windows recognizes the full 4 GB of RAM?

  I should mention that only 64-bit OS can use and recognize the full 4 GB of RAM.
  The 32 bit OS will recognize as the 3.2 GB

  The other thing is that the graphics card uses part of the RAM, but generally, this should not affect the Diagnostic Mode.

  However, check your BIOS version and if more recent BIOS was released, then I recommend you to update.

• Satellite L450: upgrade RAM: BIOS shows 8 GB, Win 2 GB

  Hi all

  I have a L450 - 13L that has provided my company to me with 2 GB of RAM, it was about 2 years ago now...
  The laptop has been very good, but it has been gradually slowing down with the applications that were installed and suites operation
  so I recently decided to upgrade the RAM.
  Research on the web I found that I can install 2 RAM cards each a maximum of 4 GB, which is what I did.

  The RAM is IN2V4GNXBFX DDR2 4 GB 800 Mhz SODIMM

  What I have noticed is my laptop is now a little faster, but not much

  If I open the control configuration\systeme Zumex tells me that I have more than 2 GB of RAM
  If I open the BIOS it tells me that there are 8 GB of RAM

  What I did wrong or what should I do to get the RAM working properly

  I tried just putting 1 RAM card and new control configuration\systeme shows 2 GB and Bios 4 GB
  I tried to Exchange 2 cards between the slotts

  Any help much beautiful

  Hi mate

  What chipset do you have?

  The laptop with the Chipset Mobile Intel (r) GL40 Express supports 4 GB RAM max. This means that you can use 2 x 2 GB RAM modules

  The laptop with the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express supports 8 GB of RAM. In this case, you can use 2 x 4 GB RAM max modules.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what version of Windows 7, you use. 32-bit recognize 3.2 GB RAM max. The 64-bit version would recognize the total RAM.

• Equium A60 - 155 192Mo of RAM only showes

  I have a satellite EA60-155 it only showes 192 MB of ram.
  Is it actually OK for this laptop?
  It has a celeron 2.80 GHz. 192 seems a strange figure of ram

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  192 MB of RAM?
  I don t think that and I think that you have something so bad you overlooked something or you didn t he checked correctly or you are which means that the memory of the graphics card.

  Available RAM can be checked in the BIOS.
  You can see more details in DirectX also. Start this tool by using the dxdiag command.

  It has all the details.

• 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."
