(SOLVED) 6GB ram but windows 64-bit says it can only use 3.5GB?

Hi folks!

Just upgraded my media center and have installed 6GB ram? I have 2+1+2+1 The memory is Corsair PC6400 800MHZ xms2.

The bios sees everything. Even Windows says I have 6GB installed, but I get told that I can only utilise 3.5?

OK! What am I missing here? I thought that 64bit could use everything...:)

Hi cdob :hello:

I guess that is a fair question considering what I am asking....LOL.

OK!

The board supports 8GB DDRII800/667/533 and I am using DDR2 PC-6400 800MHz

The motherboard is an AsRock 4Core1333-FullHD With the latest Bios1.70 installed. The chipset Northbridge: ATITM RS600

- Southbridge: ATITM SB600.

The processor is a Intel Core 2 Do E6420 2.13GHz Cache 4mb

Hope this helps!

Have you enabled the option, like suggested by Mr Snrub?

the output looks strange. Have you used the 64Bit version of the tool? Also check under msconfig.exe->boot advanced settings that you don't limit the RAM.

Hi MagicAndre1981!

Yes. Mr Snrubs "Memory Remap Feature" is enabled and it works....

Sorry, put up wrong pic..... :whistle: added right one now..

Checked the setting in start manager > advanced and no limit set there.

Do you use the latest BIOS?

Using latest bios as written earlier:

Windows confirms that I am using 64bit
