If you install allot of things. it will take up ram memory slowly.

I don't think so.

It's unusual that only 2.5GB show up, usually at least 3GB show up w/4GB on a 32bit OS. Try a 64-bit OS, and see if all 4GB show up.

Are you sure its 2.5? a 32bit OS should read 3.5.albi321

A 32-bit os will see a maximum of 4gb, it depends on whats in your pc... He has 1gb of video ram (gx2, presumably both cards memory need to be mapped) , so he would see a maximum of 3gb, but obviously other things are using up another have gig or so.

I'm using a 64 bit and my 4 gigs shows 2.5 to 2.7

However I also have Crysis installed and few other programgs but nothing that uses a gig. Cryis uses two so inless I have a leaky ram then it does take up the ram memory.

I use a 9600 GT as my Vid card.

That's because your OS is 32bit, you need a 64bit OS.Sordidus

yes your correct sir you win a prize

the only thing is that your memory is being shared with something

Yeah, thats correct. So whats the problem? How many things do you have open? Background apps/processes also take memory.

Huh? 4 gigs should just show as 4 gigs in a 64bit os...
