Bios says yes, dxdiag says no? :sigh:
Hey everyone. I have a slight problem.
I recently added some ram to my system. Its all the same speed. I checked in the bios to make sure it was enstalled correctly and it read that there was 4MB RAM in the machine. However, when I open up dxdiag and the system tab in control panel it only detects 3GB. I assumed that onboard graphics may have been hogging the other gig but i havent been able to find it and disable it in the bios. I really would appreciate any help!! system specs are in my side panel <------------------------------

Re: Bios says yes, dxdiag says no? :sigh:
Hi,
 Windows XP won't recognize more than 3 GB and likely can't utilize more than 2 GB. 4 GB is mostly for 64-bit and/or Linux/BSD/Mac OSX. Vista should be able to recognize it though.

Oh okay. Thanks very much. I have vista but I dont know if I want to use it. I have it on my laptop though and I've had no problems with it.
Cheers!
