So, when I bought this new PC it came with one DIMM of 2 GB memory. So far so good, but I wanted more so I bought another 2GB DIMM, but, to my surprise, in the properties window of my computer I read the following:
Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.50 GB usable)
Well, it turns out that I need that half of a Gigabyte for a game!
I have checked again and again in my BIOS and there isn't any memory shared anywhere!
(EDIT) I don't know if it matters, but I am running a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition.
(EDIT #2) My pagefile is set to 6 GB initially and the max is 10 GB. I have enough HDD space.
How do I get to use all my installed RAM?
