Tana lang ko sa mga experts, mao ni ang scenario:

bag-o ko nipalit ug 2GB PC6400 DDR2 na memory para puno sa akong 2GB PC6400 DDR2 ghapon na memory. So, dapat 4GB na pero mao ni ang nakabutang sa my computer ig click nako ug properties:



pero sa SIW:



Akong MOBO is MSI K9N6PGM2-V, Which says on the link below na 8GB ang max memory.

Unsay nahitabo ani?

[[-erick-]]

you are using a winxp 32bit.

upgrade to 64 bit os.

Then check pud if onboard gpu ka (eats from 256-768mb)

[Cometburn]

I have a HD4670 na VC.. So you mean, ang WinXp 32bit, 3GB ra ang supported?

[babolgam]

yes 32 bit systems only support up to 3. something gigs. Switch to 64 bit.

[Cometburn]

Uwahhh! What if windows 7? Walay work around ani? I mean the only thing to do is switch to a 64bit os?

[HanzoHattori]

yup. you must use 64bit OS, ma XP, Vista or Win7

[longimanus]

hehehe mao

[Cometburn]

Well, mao na tingali na ang tubag sa ako pangutana. Thank you sa tanan ni reply. maghuna huna pa ko kung mag switch ba ko ug 64bit na OS.

[KizoneC]

pag 64 bit na lang naa man windows xp x64bit mas faster pa imong system

Summary
If you have 4GB (or more) of memory installed in your computer, Windows System Properties will not show all 4 GB. This is normal for 32-bit versions of Windows (the most common versions).

Additional Information
32-bit processors only have 32 address lines, limiting it to a memory addressing map of 4 gigabytes (GB).

The chipset, PCI devices, PCI-Express region, and any installed video cards use some of this map, and the BIOS correctly reports this range as unavailable to the operating system. If 4 GB of physical memory is installed, then the processor has no way to address the memory that overlaps with these regions that are already in use. The chipset directs memory access to the appropriate device rather than sending it to random access memory (RAM).

On Dell's newer lines of desktops, PCI-Express uses 500 megabytes (MB) in the map; integrated video takes 256 MB right below PCI-Express, leaving 3.25 GB of memory available to the operating system via RAM. In some cases, less RAM is available depending on what other add-in cards are installed.
