    Usable RAM out of available RAM problem!!!

    Usable RAM out of available problem!

    A known problem is when you you have insufficient amount of usable RAM.

    If i install 3X2 Gb RAM, only 4 Gb is usable.
    If i install 6X2 Gb RAM, only 8 Gb is usable.
    If i install 6X4 Gb RAM, only 16 Gb is usable.

    Whatever RAM i install, seems like a third portion of it is not being used and that just pisses me, like the rest you, probably.. Solutions have been tried to no avail:

    1) update bios - did not help.
    2) msconfig/boot/advanced options/maximum memory: check & uncheck - did not help.
    3) set the RAM by default SPD (CL9 1.5V) and then by the recommended tested values (CL7 1.65V) - did not help.

    What is left to do? Is this a Windows 64 bit problem or a faulty motherboard? I know many people had or still have this annoyance.

    usable RAM

    I have 16GB RAM but it indicates only 1.98GB usable. How do I make all 16 usable?

    Less Usable RAM available

    Windows shows 8GB RAM installed but 4GB RAM is usable

    Hi There,

    I've just upgraded my pc from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Windows seems to have detected this upgrade but why does it show as only 4GB RAM available. The following is what I have tried so far with no luck:

    • I have tried the msconfig method on ensuring maximum memory is not checked.
    • physically removed the new RAM and reinstalled it
    Any thoughts/suggestions on how i can resolve this matter?

    Thanks
