Zdravko Barisic Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Did you look at bios settings? XP x64 should see all 4GB, are you shore it is x64? Because on regular x32 it is 3.25GB to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGD Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Bios settings? When where? I can go into system and it'll say XP64, then lower down on the same screen it says 3.25GB of RAM. So as far as I can tell its XP64 thats running (start-up screen says 64 on too) But I'm confused about the RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 So as far as I can tell its XP64 thats running (start-up screen says 64 on too) But I'm confused about the RAM. I have a similar problem. I just started up a new workstation which is supposed to have XP-64 but the startup just said XP. I thought that was odd, but have never used XP-64 before so what do I know? It seems that Boxx put in regular XP. I have 8GB RAM installed (I opened the case to check), but of course the machine can only see the first 3GB. Well this is annoying!

Zdravko Barisic Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 ^ you must go on XP x64, re install or call them to do that 8GB is very very very usefull on x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
