I have 6GB RAM but only 3.25GB Usable WTF ! ?

**hollowman** · 14-01-10, 08:31 PM

Can anyone please tell me why my windows 7 32bit is stating that only 3.25GB is only usable ? when I clearly have 6GB

All 4 slots have same brand RAM

Any sugguestions are appreciated

maybe its because you are not running 64 bit system.

any 32bit operating system can only use upto 3.25g ram. even if it shows more than that.

Only way to fix it is by installing the 64 bit, on the upside, there are plenty of cheap keys available!

I hate it when people say that A 32bit OS can use 4g its just the rest is taken away for Graphics cards and other things

Here's just one thread of many selling the keys Hollowman. Just download the 64 bit OS from your favourite torrent site and away you go.

thanks coopsoz, but i have a crack that works nice

whiteox, i wasn't sure why i would buy a key, thats why i wanted to calarify what "cheap keys" were. why would i pay bill gates for an operating system ? thats just stupid isn't it !! ??

I not living under a rock, i just wasn't sure that a 32bit OS couldnt take more then 3.25GB of ram, thats all.. but now i know

My comment had nothing to do with the ram.

**hollowman** · 15-01-10, 10:53 AM

i realise that whiteox - i know what you ment

i know it had to do with me not knowing about cheap keys... which i found strange and though why would i buy a key ???

Anyway, thank you to all the input from people and letting me know about 64bit....
