I had a total of 2GB of RAM installed (4 x 512MB). I just installed another
2GB by removing 2 of the 512MB, so now I have 2 x 2GB and 2 x 512MB for a
total of 5GB (and yes they are installed in the correct matching pairs).
When I started up XP Pro I got the message that the memory had changed and
to hit F2 to enter setup, which I did and it confirmed 5GB is now installed.
So I continuted to load windows. I then right clicked on My Compuer >
Properties and it only lists 3.37GB.
I then went to System Info and on the Summary screen it lists:
Total Physical Memory 5,120.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 2.85 GB
Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB
Page File Space 5.21 GB
I added more RAM since I do a lot of graphics on this PC and wanted better
performance, but now I'm not sure if I'm using all the additional RAM I
bought. Is some of my new RAM not being used? Is there a way to get all my
RAM to be used?
