Title: Hp dv6000 lap and 4gB ram
Post by: nisc on August 29, 2009, 10:40:41 AM

I'd using my HP DV6184ea (DV6000) with Win7 7600RTM 64 bit Ultimate Dk. Intel 945GM chipset.

I'd bought a new ram block 2GB Kingston and  have now 4 GB . Read in bios.
But Win7 are saying that I have 4 GB, but only 3 GB is in use. How come ???.
BIOS is modificated F29 ( able to use any Wifi card even N-draft, and works well)

As i'm remembering from Vista it is possible   to use more than 3 GB using 64 bit in ultimate... ::)

probably you have shared video memory allocated for system and you may need to look in the bios settings
