T500: XP see only 3 GB of RAM?

Hi all

I have a T500 with 2x2G memory. It is installed with win XP. In windows XP, I check that the 3G of RAM.

I just replaced one slot of 4G ram, but only 3G ram is shown with XP but BIOS shows 6G.

What can be the problem with my T500 and you have a solution for me

Note from Moderator: Edition subject to the content of the game.

You need an OS to see all of the RAM on approximately 3.5 GB 64-bit

Like windows XP 64, Vista 64 or 64 7.

  • Satellite L300-1AF: Vista see only 2.9 GB RAM

    I just stuck 4 MB of RAM in my L300 and seem to have some weird settings now.

    I know that Vista 32 bit will treat more than 3.2 MB of RAM, but my system is showing 2940 instead of 3.2.
    The GMA4500 shipped is showing that using 1341.

    Is this normal, or is there a way to get the laptop to use full 3.2 and only to allocate the rest of the graphics card.

    Hello

    Don t be worried boyfriend.
    Everythign seems to be ok.
    The fact is that your laptop was equipped with the Intel shared graphics card and received on the part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card.

    That's why the system show on ~ 2.9 GB

    Why doesn't my XP 32 OS full Bank 4 GB of RAM, DESA BIOS?

    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
    Address space of 4 GB, you can only use around 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 space, not the real address
    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 Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

  • Satellite A200-130: Upgrade the RAM to 4 GB but Vista 32bits see only 3.1 GB

    I just bought my laptop Satellite A200-130 memory 2 * 2 GB and trendy bars, but if I see the size of the total as memory is 4096 MB, on Windows Vista Home Edition (32 bit), in the BIOS, I can see only 3.1 GB.

    I checked on the Toshiba site and it states that the laptop can take up to 4096 MB, so can any please tell me how to fix this problem?

    Why 3. 1 GB shows, instead of 4 GB?

    Have you read or heard something about 32-bit limitation of Windows?

    Isn't it?
    Well, I advise to use google and search for it.
    It turns out that all 32-bit Windows operating systems can see only 3 GB of RAM

    In addition, you can find some details in the Microsoft Knowledge base.

  • Upgrade memory satellite A110-103 - the Bios shows only 1 GB of RAM

    {color: #000000} Dear Forum Toshiba,

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A110-103 (PSABE6) bought in 2006 of the Belgium.
    I have trouble about an upgrade of RAM for this laptop. The laptop was originally a Samsung 512 MB of RAM.
    I tried to upgrade the RAM to its maximum capaity supported 2 GB.
    I bought and installed 2 Kingstone SODIMM 1 GB Value Ram DDR2 PC2 4300 units compatible with the laptop, but

    in the BIOS, I see only 1 GB of RAM.
    I tested each RAM separately and they work very well. The problem is that when I install in my

    locations of the laptop, my BIOS sees no Ram.Instead 2 GB 2 GB, it shows only 1 GB. I updated my BIOS for more later

    version 1.70 (for XP), but the laptop continues to show only 1 GB.

    I tested the RAM separately:
    -inserted only 1 stick in the drive and the pc started ok showing 1 GB of RAM
    -then I inserted the same stick in another location and it also worked well showing 1 GB of RAM
    - then I checked another unit of the RAM in the same way and worked well
    -When I try to put 1 GB of Ram and the old 512 MB RAm the BIOS correctly showed the new value of 1.5 GB
    -i also checked the other 1 GB of ram and the old 512 MB of ram and showed good again in the Bios with the value of 1.5 GB
    - but when I tried to put the 2 ram set units to obtain the BIOS only detected 1 GB 2 GB.

    Here's the description detailed 1 GB modules that I try to install:

    SLOT #1
    The module size: 1024
    Band Max bandwidth: PC2-4300(266Mhz)

    I think the problem is that the two s of RAM are not compatible, but it is not explained to me because use you two identical modules.

    In your case I return the RAM to the computer dealer and say the modules work together in your notebook, but your laptop definitely supports 2 GB of RAM.

    I think that there is no other way because you have updated your BIOS to the latest version.
    Here is the part number for RAM Toshiba compatible:

    Hello

    * UPGRADE RAM PROBLEMS *.

    I just upgraded my laptop from 2 GB to 4 GB of RAM, * but cannot access the 3 GB *.
    I checked all the documents, and he indicates that the laptop should be expandable to 4 GB of RAM.

    Oddly enough, the site of [mytoshiba.com.au | http://mytoshiba.com.au] does not list my exact model under "abandoned" (as if it never existed!).

    Incidentally, I always have problems with "Toshiba Password Utility monitoring" and the software "Driver Bluetooth software" provided by Toshiba to [http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/a200/psafca-01h00j/download] - in the absence of "* Win7 64 * ' drivers I used the ' * Vista 64 *" drivers.

  • Satellite A200-1hv - 4 GB of RAM but system see only 3.1 GB

    Hello

    I have the problem. recently, I bought 4 GB of RAM for my Satellite A200-1hv but system see only 3.1 GB.
    And yes I have tested also on 64-bit vista 64 and Linux 64 systems. In both cases, it shows only 3.1 GB.

    Also when I boot my laptop on the BIOS POST screen it test only 3.1 GB of RAM memory not 4 GB.
    The funny is that when I enter in the BIOS setup, and then in the main settings tab, it shows 4GB.

    Why?
    In the specification, it is written that this laptop supports 4 GB of RAM, but it is NOT!

    Please do!

    Check if you are using the latest version, and if not then update the BIOS to the State.

  • Satellite A100-62 of the bios, you see only not 4GiG ram?

    Hello

    So before I bought and placed 4GiG ram in my satellite I looked on the site of toshiba connected and so on... found my cell phone and I noticed Max ram is 4096 M, great, I thought, off I went and got 4GiG ram and installed 2 giga both to make sure that the ram is not defective "", then when the two sticks has been tested and bios and windows that I have placed both at the same time that windows has "known issue" you see don't not 4GiG ram which is OK by me, I guess, but then I noticed that the bios of the laptop sees 3063 Mb which is * very strang me! *

    When I called toshiba, they said yes, you'll still 4GiG of RAM, but what confused me is if I installed then bios should also show the fact that theres 4gig 4gig?

    can anyone tell me please what continues

    already checked the discussions here in the forum? I mean, West search and there are MANY threads on your problem. Please check the forum and you will get your answer.

    Short description of your problem: bios does not display correctly the amount of RAM that is installed on your system, but the RAM is perfectly usable BY THE SYSTEM, but NOT by the operating system.

  • Windows says 6 GB usable only 4 GB of ram

    My bios says I have 6 GB of Ram installed and when I checked my ram under windows he says 6 GB usable I use windows 7 Home premium 64-bit only 4 GB of ram. Is there a setting to make it work with 6 GB of ram

    Hi Keefy1,
     
    On a computer that is running a 64-bit Windows 7 version, usable memory may be less than the installed memory (RAM).

    This is expected behavior on computers that are running Windows 7. The reduction in available system memory depends on the configuration of the following:
    1. the devices that are installed in the computer and on the memory reserved by these devices
    2. the ability of the motherboard to manage memory
    3. the BIOS version and settings
    4. other system settings
     
    To see how it is allocated the memory installed in Windows 7, follow these steps:
    1. click on start, type in the box resource monitor search programs and files, and then click Resource Monitor in the list programs.
    2. click on the memory tab and then view the physical memory section on the bottom of the page.
     
    There are several additional situations that could cause the usable RAM is less than expected. These issues and possible solutions are listed in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978610
     
    I hope this helps.
     
    Kind regards

  • Windows XP VM recognises only 3 GB of RAM when administered 4GB

    I'm having a problem with Windows XP, recognizing only 3 GB of RAM.  32-bit XP has a max of 4 GB RAM configuration (and cannot be extended with EAP that some other versions can).  The virtual machine in VMware is configured with 4 GB of RAM.  However, I can't get the OS to see more than 3 GB.   I had a similar problem with a Linux VM, which in this case has been resolved by installing the EAP.  The strange thing in both cases, is that even if the limit is 4 GB, if I set the RAM to the virtual machine at 3.5, 3.8 or 3.9 GB of RAM, it would always appear in the guest OS as 3 GB of RAM and no more.

    Has anyone seen this issue or have any input? Thank you-

  • One can see the cookies of session in private browsing mode - see only normal cookies.

    Using Firefox 19.0.2

    Is it possible to allow Firefox to display ONLY the cookies of the current session in private browsing mode, rather than a list of my regular cookies?

    First, basic cookies management seem to work fine for me, in both normal mode and private browsing: Cookies set during private browsing are removed as expected when you exit Firefox or switch to normal navigation.

    HOWEVER...

    I can't SEE the new cookies set during a private browsing session.

    If I start Firefox normally, switch to private browsing mode and then go to Options > show Cookies, the window opens showing a long list of my 'normal' cookies

    Previously, the cookies window seems to be EMPTY at the start of a private browsing session. After a while of browsing and then recheck the list I see only the cookies set in this private browsing session.

    Now, during a private session, when I re - check the list of cookies for navigation I see my regular cookies, and NONE of the new session cookies appear in this list (the same cookies appear as before switching to the private mode).

    I tried to start Firefox in Mode safe, without a change in behavior. I also tried to disable the modules, without change.

    List of installed modules:

    Adblock Plus 2.2.3
    BetterPrivacy 1.6.8
    Ghostery 2.9.3
    Googlebar Lite 4.9.7

I looked for a function of setting page nothing is done. I thought that time would fix it as it is something that has already happened, but was temporary. Other browsers work fine.
