I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 and a Compaq 510. Both of which are 2GB when shipped. Now, I've bought 4 GB of Kingston Ram and upgraded both of my laptops to 4 GB. However it is only reading 2.91 on both. The 510 is running XP while the CQ50 is on Windows 7. I understand that it reads 3 to 3.5GB only, but it would be great if I can read them. Help. |

On some computers, a 32 bit system will not utilize over a certain amount (approx. 3.2GB...). A 64 bit system does not have this limitation. Also, you will need to consider how much RAM is set aside for any onboard graphics. Cheers! |

With out upgrading the OSs to 64bit (Vista or 7) you are wasting money. If you were running a 64bit OS you would be seeing ~3.6GB reported to OS & the remainder being used for video memory. |
