Now...how much RAM is it..?
« on: December 11, 2010, 05:03:18 AM »
Ok, this is getting me confused.


Windows Task Manager says 4 GB, while System Info says 2 GB.








Well, what's the real one?


Thanks.

EDIT: Could the processor info I posted (the "kloksnelheid") be related to that 2GB after it?

Hi Yoshi,
Check if memory remapping is enabled in the BIOS?
If it is, disable it.
Enabling memory remapping for XP or Vista 32 drops the useable (Task Manager reported) memory to 2GB.

The task manager reports 4 gb already.

Besides I have no idea of how to get into the BIOS with that thing.

Looking at 'CanYouRunIt?', it reported 2 GB.
