6gb Ram Only 3gb Usable
So i've had issues with my RAM usage on windows 7 rc x32-bit for a little while now. I've even reinstalled the OS and at idle i'm running at 32%. A friend of mine has a computer i built a while ago and has 4gb of RAM and has 3.5 usable RAM. For some odd reason I have 6gb of found RAM with only 3.0 usable RAM.
RAM - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
any suggestions please?

3gb Ram But Only 1gb Usable?
I have an older desktop, Acer Aspire running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, it had 4gb ram installed (I did know that only 3gb could be used)yesterday I took one of the ram sticks out ( had 4 x 1gb) and put in a different computer. Since then it has started crawling along, I have noticed that it says 3gb ram 1 gb usable. is this something that I need to go into the bios for? I ran the memory diagnostic tool this morning but did not get to see a report.

6GB DDR3 Ram Installed BUT Only 2.75 USABLE
Okay so i have a Quad core x6850 Intel CPU, EVGA 280GTX GPU CARD. Now i installed window 7 x86 bit version ULTIMATE. And i have 6GB DDR3 RAM INSTALLED INTO MY geforce Nforce 790i motherboard. Now the problem is that in Windows 7 it shows "Installed Memory: 6.00GB (2.75 GB Useable)". But in Bios it shows me that 6gigs in installed. Now does that mean it is WIN 7 that is just reading my DDR3 RAM WRONG? But i am still getting the full performance for all of my 6GB DDR 3 RAM? Since my bios is reading all of the 6GB RAM? Also i tried doing what other forums indiated i should be doing like type config and check mark or uncheck mark MAX MEMORY. Tried doing that, but noting happened. Now the only thats left and i am having confusion with is, some people are saying i should Enable Memory remapping in bios? I have a nforce 790i motherboard, and i can't find that exactly in my bios mode. Is there any other way to fix this problem?

Windows 7 64bit - 6GB Memory But Only 4GB Usable
I have Win7 64bit with 6GB memory. The Windows System control panel agrees with that showing 6GB ram and nothing about a limitation. But today I was opening a lot of files and the program wouldn't let me open more files after Windows memory use reached 4GB. Task Manager showed 4GB used out of 6GB. I tried opening another file with a different program and my screen flickered and the program shut itself off, so it looks like the problem is with Windows and not the other programs. How do I get Windows to use all available memory not just 4GB out of 6GB?

32 Bit 4 GB Ram 3.44gb Usable Including Video Ram?
I have 32 bit Windows 7 installed and it says only 3.44 GB of RAM is usable which I'm fine with... if it doesn't count video ram as well. I have 2GB of video RAM -- is that included in this total? If so, how can I tell which percentage is being set aside for video ram and which percentage is being set aside for general ram?

Ram Problem / 4gb Of Ram As 1.99gb Usable
Windows is only showing my 4gb of ram as 1.99gb usable. It used to be high although I cannot remember the value. I know that for sure because my ram score used to be 7. something and my hdd was lowest score of 5.9, now ram is the lowest with 5.5. Any ideas? http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/728/42151950.png http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/986/ssadaw.png

Using 6GB Ram
I am just wondering if I can utilize 6GB ram, but probably in an unconventional way... Recently I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and had no problems on install and everything is fine. I have 2 x 1GB of memory lying around doing nothing, (800mhz - same as the ocz Reaper X). Will I be able to install the additional ram alongside 2 x 2GB of Reaper X? (Total 6GB).

64 Bit Win 7 On A HP G70 With 3GB Ram
I have one of these laptops and not sure whether to go with the 32 bit or 64 bit of build 7100. i have actually already tried both, just to see which i would prefer, but having done so cant quite make up my mind which to go with. i installed the 64 first because i thought i would end up going with the 32 (due to only having 3GB RAM) but the 64 seems to have been as good, if not actually better. there was even an issue with some program incompatibility with the 32 that wasn't there with 64 strangely. Admittedly i only installed around half of my usual programs with the 64, but everything seemed fine. WEI score was considerably higher with the 64 bit, and the RAM score was 7.0 in the 64, and only 5.0 in the 32 bit, and the GFX score (gaming) was 5.5 in 64, and 5.1 in 32. i guess this is something to do with how the different architecture utilises RAM? is it worth going back to the 64bit, now that i have most of my programs installed on the 32? or will i notice an issue with the lack of RAM when all my apps are installed etc? i dont have an issue with having to start all over from scratch tbh, and would be interested to hear of anyone running 64bit with under 4GB RAM.

Windows 7 Detects 4GB RAM But Using Only 3GB
My computer is a machine that has 3gb DDR3 ram and a 1gb graphics card. I've recently installed windows 7 (32 bit) and upon looking at the system through control panel, i found that windows detects 4.00gb ram but is only using 3.00gb. Does the '4gb' detected by windows include the graphics card memory? Am I able to ignore this and be able to fully use both my 3gb DDR3 and 1gb graphics card?

I7 + 6GB RAM With Consistent CPU Spikes?
I've had the HP DV6-3052nr for about a year and a half. My processor is an Intel Core i7, my graphics card is the ATI Mobility Radeon 5650, and it contains 6GB of RAM. A year ago at this time, I was running the game Crysis along with other programs all at once with an accumulated memory usage of 1,500,000. The CPU was at 15% while this was happening. Today, with all other programs closed, I can hardly run Skype, Oovoo, or Minecraft without my CPU spiking to 92% - 100%. The only way for me to solve the lag produced is by restarting my laptop. Why is it that the performance has declined, and aside from formatting, what alternatives do I have to return the performance to what it had once been?

7 64-bit Showing 4GB RAM Instead Of 6GB
I recently installed 64-bit Windows 7 on my new computer I built a few days ago and I have no clue as to why it only shows my memory at 4GBs. My BIOS show the same thing, however CPU-Z says I have the appropriate 6GBs. The "Maximum Memory" option is unchecked in msconfig, by the way. Does anyone know what may be causing this issue? System Specs: ASUS Rampage ii Extreme 6(3x2)GB RAM Mushkin Redline DDR3 1600Mhz RAM Sapphire 5870 i7-920 @ 2.6Ghz 1050w Enermax Revolution WD 300GB Raptor

PC Freezing Running Windows X64 / 6GB RAM
My PC is freezing in Windows 7 x64. Using the mouse or typing control/alt/delete does not work. I use it for Recording music. My software is Avid Pro Tools 8 and Propellerhead Reason 5. I thought one of those was the problem until it froze while I was online and also when I was using Microsoft Word. Almost at anytime it will freeze causing me to press the power button (Hard Reboot). I did a Memory Test, Virus Scan and SCF Scan. I saw on another website that it might be the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 graphics card. I do not have any Minidumps because I do not get any BSOD errors. Windows 7 x64 Sevice Pack 1 AMD Phenom II x4 840 Processor 3.20 Ghz Installed Ram 6.00 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 graphics card
