RAM

[DarkAngel]

I have a Abit Fatal1ty SLI Motherboard and ive just put in 4Gb of DDR 400 RAM, one snag in windows it only shows up as 2.75 Gb although in bios it says 4 Gb  :blink: . Rather odd i checked the capacity of the motherboard and fair enough it says 4 Gb.

Any pointers? hmm

Its a chipset limitation probably. My mb supports 4Gb but ASUS warn on their site that you may only get 3.x Gb reported due to chipset limitations (Intel 865PE chipset)

4Gb only being recognized as 3.xxGb: Though 4Gb will be counted, the chipset (and not only Intel's but others as well) will only utilize 3Gb for O/S and applications. The remaining 1Gb is used for the chipset to allocate other system resources (video addressing and such) to that area.

And the valuable lesson here is: always RTFM...and then do some extra digging just to be sure

Personally I wouldn't get rid of it at all;

It is all being used - just not by windows and its in place for when you get a 64bit operating system.
Plus you never know what the price of ram is going to do

Good investment either way

I have a AMD 64 Bit 3200 (939)
So it is useful though there is some way of just creating ram with the 64 bit processor dont know how tho.. So if any1 wants to buy 2 x 1Gb RAM 3200 then gimme a pm think £50 each would be a reasonable price.
