6gb ram(3.99 usable)

[irish437]

Thats what it says in my system specs.

I have the i7 920 and 6gb of corsair dominator installed. Running windows 7. Anyone have any advice on this?

32 bit operating system?

No its Windows 64 Bit with an EVGA x58 sli le motherboard that should allow up to 24 gigs of ram.

I have seen that others have issues with this as well when I googled it, but noone seems to have a sure fire response to fix this.

What utility is reporting that figure? Have a screenshot? Note that 32-bit applications will still only be able to use at most 4 GB of memory, typically only 2 GB, even on a 64-bit system. But the extra memory can still be used by 64-bit apps (including the OS), and/or spread across multiple 32-bit apps.

Its in the systems and security systems tab..

Here is a link to my exact problem with the screenshot I am seeing it in. Thanks for your help.

Dunno, then. Someone there suggests reseating all the RAM. Have you tried that?

 

[irish437]

No, I haven't tried anything with the hardware yet. I'm going to reset the Bios tonight because I have it OC'd to 3.2 to see if that makes any difference. If the RAM was faulty would it recognize the 6gb and say only 4 available?

 

[GasMask]

Check your Bios settings, there might be an option called "memory remap" disable or enable it to see if it makes any difference.
Tried a new BIOS?

 

[irish437]

I got it fixed, I reseated all the ram and set bios to default and then followed a pretty easy overclock guide on EVGA website. I now have my i7 920 showing all 6 gigs of ram and the CPU is running at 3.3(could go higher, but this is great for now).

Running absolutely silky smooth on Ultra, my buddies jaw hit the floor when he saw the graphics, he had never seen total war before. In a custom battle, the enemy did resort to some mob warfare, but they fired some muskets too.

I am sure if you asked him if he saw the melee bug, he wouldn't have noticed because he was looking at the battle in all its glory and the hand to hand looked pretty cool.

So I am pretty sure that those that deny there is a bug are too busy looking at the pretty graphics.

Yes but even if you see 6gb you need to enable memory remapping in your bios or it wont use its full memory.

What this feature does is amazing.

If not enjoy your setup.

Do you know whewre this is on the EVGA x58 le sli board? And what it should like like to guarantee that it is turned on?

For Windows Vista to use all 4 GB of memory on a computer that has 4 GB of memory installed, the computer must meet the following requirements:

• The chipset must support at least 8 GB of address space. Chipsets that have this capability include the following:
  • Intel 975X
  • Intel P965
  • Intel 955X on Socket 775
  • Chipsets that support AMD processors that use socket F, socket 940, socket 939, or socket AM2. These chipsets include any AMD socket and CPU combination in which the memory controller resides in the CPU.
• The CPU must support the x64 instruction set. The AMD64 CPU and the Intel EM64T CPU support this instruction set.
• The BIOS must support the memory remapping feature. The memory remapping feature allows for the segment of system memory that was previously overwritten by the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) configuration space to be remapped above the 4 GB address line. This feature must be enabled in the BIOS configuration utility on the computer. View your computer product documentation for instructions that explain how to enable this feature. Many consumer-oriented computers may not support the memory remapping feature. No standard terminology is used in documentation or in BIOS configuration utilities for this feature. Therefore, you may have to read the descriptions of the various BIOS configuration settings that are available to determine whether any of the settings enable the memory remapping feature.
• An x64 (64-bit) version of Windows Vista must be used.

Contact the computer vendor to determine whether your computer meets these requirements.

Note When the physical RAM that is installed on a computer equals the address space that is supported by the chipset, the total system memory that is available to the operating system is always less than the physical RAM that is installed. For example, consider a computer that has an Intel 975X chipset that supports 8 GB of address space. If you install 8 GB of RAM, the system memory that is available to the operating system will be reduced by the PCI configuration requirements. In this scenario, PCI configuration requirements reduce the memory that is available to the operating system by an amount that is between approximately 200 MB and approximately 1 GB. The reduction depends on the configuration.

WTF is this about? It has nothing at all to do with his system, he's not running Vista and he's not using any of those chipsets.

@ OP, I have the EVGA E759 Classified motherboard running a similar BIOS to yours with an i7 920 and 6GB of Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz. DDR3 RAM, your memory (now that it shows 6GB) is being fully utilized by the system and there is no additional setting that you need to change to make it do so as Dogs990 suggests.

Thanks for the clarification. I have been reading up on things and went on the EVGA webiste and read quite a few threads and I don't even think my mobo has a memory remapping option. It runs smooth as silk, so I think I'm done frogging around with it now that I have all the memory showing. What a glorious sight that was to see it all showing up.

EVGA are crap full stop they most prob do not have remapping its easy as hell to find go into the bios look at your oc tweaker or memory in the bios and have a good look and find memory remapping im drunk wtf do you expect what ? yes i new it mate thats what i thought to you just go away GET OUT!!!!

Even though I've never seen it before I just went into my BIOS to double-check and there was no "memory remap" option anywhere.

I googled it and found that according to tech support from Corsair:

BIOS memory remapping is used when your computer will not see all of the RAM you may have installed. It does not affect performance. So in other words, it doesn't matter what setting you use.

So basically it's irrelevant and only makes a difference with 32bit OS's from what I read. And the feature itself seemed to be available only on older motherboards.

Just in case you try to edit.

I think that I have similar problem
I have windows 7 64 bit
i5-750 Asus mobo
and 4GB Memory



Installed 4 Gb
Available 3,01 Gb

I am gonna to install more memory to see what happens

I couldn't give a toss if you have it or not but if you ever say something stupid retarded useless i wouldn't even consider putting it in my Sig your weak and to put someone else's mistake in your Sig is just weak.

Have a nice day Chaobsiroc.

 

[Top-Tier-Tech]

your weak and to put someone else's mistake in your Sig is just weak.

It's your reminder to not get drunk again

EDIT: Which is weaker? The weak man posting crazy things while drunk, or the man that simply reminds him of doing so.

How did my thread turn into this......

Anyway I have the full 6gb of ram working now.

You guys should really PM each other if you want to discuss your drinking habits and the merits/negatives of drinking.
