Do you have a the 32bit os or the 64bit os?

 

[veedubfreak]

If its 32bit it cant register more than 3.5ish.

If its 32bit it cant register more than 3.5ish.

Including video card RAM I believe.

Wow 8GB of RAM. Must be running 5 instances of 3DS Max for that! Most likely another 32-Bit OS problem.

 

[StoolKitten]

indeed, 32bit os, however 2.75??? that hardly seems like the maximum.

Is it up to date? SP1 and all other updates installed? BIOS Flashed?

 

[wicked23]

Also please state system specs. As stated above some may be allocated to video and other stuff.

It will unfortunately never see 8 gigs of RAM
