The memory remap moves the hardware addressing to above 4GB for a 64 bit OS. If memory remap is enabled with a 32 bit OS, it may limit memory to 2GB, regardless of how much is installed. To find out how to enter the BIOS on your machine - see here: http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm Let me know! ;) Oh - and by the way, my current charge out rate is one applaud for ever issue solved. ;D Title: Re: RAM Post by: pantherrr0 on June 07, 2009, 11:54:08 pm didja get my pm didja didja!? no applauds yet!
