I have bought this new Pc and works fine in every manner however i have this thing im wondering about:
When i run msinfo32 it says i got 4096 Mb ram but when i look in systeminfo its says i only have 2750 Mb ram
A friend of mine says its because Windows cant detect more than 2.75Gb ram but kinda doubt that and thought i would get a second oppinion just in case :-)
I even checked its and there is indeed 4x 1024Mb slots in it so im certain it have it and have no problems in any way running high graphic games and so on my Pc it just anoys me it doesnt show the right amount !

Normally windows can detect about 3.25 gig of ram in a 32 bit Operating System. You would need a 64bit OS to use the full 4096 MB of ram. The amount of ram that windows sees is also affected by onboard graphics chips that use part of the ram as video ram.
