Windows 10: Win 10 Not using all RAM

On your problem with not being able to use the full 4GB you have. Here is a clip I found from another member with same problem. This is how they explained it to this user. Yours is very similar ...most likely its your older motherboard. This may explain it better for you.

"As stormy13 has mentioned there is no solution to your problem with that motherboard. A 64 bit OS does permit access to the full 4 GB RAM but only if the motherboard supports it, which yours does not. This is not uncommon with older boards.

32 bit and 64 bit systems face the same issue with accessing the full 4 GB RAM. It is just that a 64 bit OS has a potential solution. A 32 bit OS has a 4 GB physical address space but this must be shared by RAM and memory mapped hardware which must have priority. RAM and this hardware cannot share the same addresses so a portion of RAM (labeled as Hardware Reserved) will be inaccessible. A 64 bit OS supports remapping of the conflicting RAM to higher addresses where it can then be accessed. But this remapping must be done in the BIOS, which the Intel 82945G motherboard cannot do. Many older boards do not support this."

 

guess its time to buy another computer, thanks for your time everyone! now where to find a cheap pc lol (i only use it for photoshop )
