    Why 2.66 GB usable in 4 GB ram?

    Thanks to everyone for their valuable suggestions. I guess the problem was with the OS.Because after increasing my ram from 4 gb to 8 gb still the usable memory was 2267 mb out of 8 gb, then I did a clean install of Windows 7.Now everything is fine and smooth, and usable memory is 7.9 gb out of 8 gb.

    2.5 GB usable out of 4 GB of ram

    I have a HP pavilion g6 1301tx laptop. It came up with 2GB of DDR3 ram, windows 7 pro (64 bit), 1 GB ATI graphic card and motherboard - hp 1670 serial number- pcela212c1bo7I. Few months back I installed Windows 10 (32 bit) . Now I want to increase ram by 2 GB , total of 4 GB so I installed a 2 GB DDR3 ram to the other slot and checked system properties of my computer it says 2.5 GB usable out of 4 GB, now I don't understand why rest of the 1.5 GB is not usable what should i do to get 4 GB ram?

    I have committed 5.7 GB RAM but only 4 GB is usable. Why?

    4 GB RAM installed, 1.27 GB usuable

    Hi. I purchased a used Lenovo notebook from 2012 with Windows 7 Professional. It has 4 GB of memory installed. However, when I go to Control Panel, it only shows 1.27 GB of that memory is usable. Windows 7 is running very sluggish (understandably if it has
    less than 2 GB of usable memory). How can I use the other 2.5 GB to make my laptop faster?

    System Specifications:

    Processor: AMD A4-5000 @1.5 GHz 4 cores

    RAM: 4 GB (1.27 GB usable)

    Hard drive: 460 GB mechanical drive

    Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD Graphics (integrated)

    Operating system and architecture: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

    I REALLY need to be able to use the full 4 GB for this laptop to be worth using. Please let me know how to fix this issue.
