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.

    Hello

    Install the latest version of the bios ( F.39 ) for your laptop from the link below.  If you check the "revision history, version F.36 lists this as a fix for computers running Windows 7 32 bit, so I guess it will fix the problem in your case - and updates the bios being cumulative, it would be wise to apply F.39 it also fixes a security hole."  Once the flash started, not to interrupt somehow (the machine may reboot several times at the same time that the periods of apparent inactivity, but just wait until the operating system of charging).

  • HP probook 450 GB usable RAM

    Hello

    I have a HP probook 450 GO with Windows 7 pro 64-bit installed.

    The laptop has 4 GB of RAM installed, however, when I check this, right-click on 'Computer' then go to 'Properties', it shows 4 GB installed, but only 3.85 GB usable.

    Someone has any ideas why this is not displayed as 4 GB usable?

    Thank you

    If the system has integrated chipset graphics, part of memory is allocated to the integrated graphics chip and the rest is usable RAM.

    Hardware components often use some of the memory (RAM) of your internal system for themselves. For example, while a graphics (GPU) card comes with its own RAM, integrated graphics (also called integrated graphics card) uses part of your RAM as video memory.

    Your computer may also be allocating part of your RAM to other materials, such as your network hardware.

    To determine how much of your RAM is reserved for material and how much is usable by Windows, you can use the window system mentioned above. The total amount of RAM can be used is displayed next to the total amount of memory that Windows can see. In the screenshot below, 0,1 GB of RAM is reserved for materials.

  • 2.69 GB of usable Ram

    Hello, my name is Viktor, and I HP4530s probook... the main specifications of this laptop is i5, 4 GB ram, 640hdd

    I have buyed 4 GB of ram and when I go to properties on my computer, it says I have 8 GB of ram and 2.69 GB of usable ram

    can you tell me why there at - he say that? below it I'll show you photo from my computer. I hope you will answer me, and together we will find a solution for this.

    Hi Victor,

    The main culprit, it is that you are using a 32-bit operating system.  A 32-bit Windows operating system only deals with 4 GB of RAM, so it can use 4 additional GB you have purchased and installed.  To use this extra RAM, you must upgrade to a 64-bit operating system.

    As to why he says only 2.69 GB usable, the system BIOS THAT book you on 0.5 GB and the video graphics card will reserve 1 GB on this model, which puts you right in the range you are in for the usable memory.

  • HP 500 b MT: usable ram 3 of 4 concerts

    Hello, I've searched for the last few days how to solve this problem and I can't find a solution. I tried on different forums and none of the solutions have helped me so far.

    I use a Windows 7 Pro 32 bit on a HP 500 (b) with the exception of the video card and the extra ram, I bought everything else is original. When I bought the RAM (2 GB) and installed, he'd let me use only 1, is that I have 3 usable 4 Gigs.

    I tried the Msconfig tool, maximum memory is checked.

    I tried to change in the BIOS settings, but it is not available as an option in the BIOS settings. In any case, the settings of the BIOS is recognizing 2 2 GB modules each.

    I have the latest BIOS driver, 6.05.

    The BIOS is set to the video source recognized by default on the PCIe slot, which is what I have.

    I feel that this reserved memory is for the original dedicated video card came with the PC, but I don't have it anymore.

    I've read a number or discussions on the forums on PAE and such but I'm really not at such a level of advanced knowledge. I'm just an irritable guy.

    Do you have other ideas about how I can fix this?

    I know that I can run up to 4 GB on 32 bit OS version, this is why I am not a bigger RAM and I do not expect to get the full 4 GB but I have read some people have up to only 6 MB of memory dedicated. I'd settle for much less than that, but 1 full Gig seems like a lot of memory waste. This is 25% of the capacity of the machine I see.

    Little help please?

    Thank you!

    Link to the patch file: http://www.tarfandestan.com/files/Patch-3-Windows-Vista-and-7.zip

    Windows 7 32-bit is hardcoded only address 4 GB of TOTAL memory. If you have 4 GB of RAM and 1 GB of video RAM, your video card gets 1 GB which means now Windows has only 3 GB of memory left to address (even if you have 4 GB of free RAM). The other 0,47 GB is probably reserved for other hardware components (or buffer just as your reserved chipset). You can actually dig into the Device Manager and (with a little math) understand exactly the amount of memory is reserved for each component. Mark Russinovich has a very detailed and technical article is here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2008/07/21/3092070.aspx

    EAP is a feature that allows to address more than 4 GB of memory with 32 - bit. I * think * Win7 32-bit installs the core EAP (ntkrnlpa.exe and ntkrpamp.exe in c:\windows\system32) because it has other features for newer processors, but even the PAE-enabled kernel is still hardcoded to a 4 GB max memory addressable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension#Microsoft_Windows). So I would say that the patch is trying to hack in and remove the 4 GB limit so that you can fully use EAP to address more than 4 GB. Aside from possibly violate the windows license agreement, you won't see any problems. Or you might eventually see some of the problems that Mark Russinovich describes as possible when the client systems use EAP for > 4 GB:

    What they find is that many systems would crash, hang or be initialized because some device drivers, usually those for video and audio devices that are found generally on clients, but no servers, no were not programmed to wait physics treats more than 4 GB. Thus, the drivers truncated such addresses, having for result of memory corruptions and the side effects of corruption. Server systems generally have more generic devices and with drivers simpler and more stable, and therefore did not usually surface these problems. The problematic client driver ecosystem led to the decision for client SKUS to ignore physical memory that lies beyond 4 GB, even though they can theoretically solve.

  • Not all usable RAM

    Hey, I just reinstalled Win7 on my computer and for some reason any, it uses not all of my RAM. For example, in system properties it says 2 GB of RAM (1.75 GB usable) ideas?

    p.s. I installed 32 and 64-bit versions, but I know that shouldn't matter with only 2 GB of RAM.

    Your computer is not designed for Windows 7. You can add RAM.
    http://support.Acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireM3100/AspireM3100sp2.shtml

    Most computers will have an allocation for the reserved equipment. So with 4 GB installed RAM it is common to see only 2.8 to 3.2 GB usable. An allowance to graphics is common.

    Hello

    In order to use 4 GB RAM three different factors are important.

    (1) BIOS
    (2) chipset
    (3) OS

    You will be able to use 4 GB of RAM if these 3 parts provide support for 4 GB RAM.

    Win 7 64 bit is 4 GB of RAM, so you should check first the capable chipset.
    Check chipset in your laptop computer and research on the Intel page for details if 4 GB of RAM are supported.
    If 4 GB of RAM are supported by the chipset then the BIOS does not appear to provide support for 4 GB.

  • W530: 3.60/4.0GB of usable RAM?

    According to the properties of the computer, I only 3.6 GB RAM usable. It came stock with 4.0 GB. Do not know why.  I have 8 GB of additional ram on the way from newegg. I'm curious to know if my computer can handle more.  I know it's common in Win 32-bit OS, but I have a 64-bit operating system.  Any ideas why this could be?

    All modern computers will lose usually a few hundred megabytes of memory, usually due to various assignments set aside for the workspace for the equipment to be used.

    For example, in our W530 NVidia cards want a memory of 256 MB of system memory buffer, they can write to freely, so that memory can be attributed to normal or software programs. This video card, in fact, already allocated if it can communicate back with the CPU using very large spreading of the transfers. There is an additional 48 MB buffer card allocated so, so there are 304MB consumed by itself.

    Video cards are, by FAR, the largest consumer. The audio card, by example, 16 k, the SD card reader snarfs a paltry 256 bytes, and Intel management engine takes _16_ bytes in total. The different PCI-Express bus hubs that are logically within the laptop be 1 MB each, and there are 4, etc.

    So, Yes, losing approximately 330 MB on the quiet mode of NVidia and more like 450MO mode Optimus (where two video cards are activated) is perfectly reasonable and fine. That 330MB is almost exactly the byte that I do not have available on my 32GB W530, by comparison, so yes it's memory none of us have. And I lose a little more in mode Optimus (as well as to deal with the annoying problem of two-tone YouTube) so by and far I run in quiet mode straight, unless a theft in progress, then I turn to the integrated manually mode.

    As to "Reinstall" mode Optimus drivers, there is a separate small video-switch/router driver in place that handles the interface between two video cards because they share the outputs; so for Windows, Yes, it's a different video interfacing w card / NVidia card mode mode versus non-Optimus, Optimus is different. It is more this material of switching in the middle. Ditto the side Intel if never start you in '' integrated '' mode, Windows will be "Reinstall" the drivers Intel. It is actually the non-Intel Optimus driver for the first time configuration.

    If your Windows 7 is a 32-bit edition, 3.46 GB is as good as it gets. To get the full benefit of 8 GB, you must run Windows 7 64 bit.

    If you do not have a Windows 7 64-bit installation disk, you can download an ISO

    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 - U ISO

    English x 64: X 17 - 59465.iso
