Sorry if this is the wrong place i have no clue where to put this,
so here goes, i have a packard bell i media x2424,
its got:
640gb WD HDD
Intel Core 2 Quad (2,4ghz)
denvor 10 motherboard,
and i have added, new psu (corsair 450w HX series)
and a new graphics card, (last one was built in) its a XFX 9600GT
(i like this card), now the problem ive got its as it says in the title, ive switched the graphics to the new card but for some reason only 3,3gb of the 4gb of ram is missing, 700mb is a lot to disapear, i mean when i got it only 3,0gb was in the task manager (because of built in graphics)
any ideas anyone?
thanks in advance, sorry if its in the wrong place (but i am trying to tweak my ram to full)
 
well if you have a 32bit OS 3.5gb - what ever your graphics card has is all the ram you can have so 3.3gb sounds right.

You could run win7 64bit for free for about a year and you would have use of all of your ram.
