XENOPHONZ, what does Windows report as the amount of RAM? Depending on the configuration of your other hardware it'll likely be somewhere between 2.5GB and 3.5GB.It'll also be interesting to see how much Windows makes available to applications.
Under XP, Windows is reporting 3.5G of RAM. The bios recognizes the full 4G.
I've done a little research into that issue. If I am understanding the matter correctly, so long as your low-level processes 'understand' that the RAM is there, the amount being reported by Windows isn't a problem.
However, I am curious to see what the system will report once I install Vista 64-bit on a dual-boot setup. Supposedly, Vista will have no problem in reporting all of the available memory.
