FW21Z Task manager Memory only 2GB

mf1983 — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 07:24:41 GMT

Hello,
Iam the owner of the new FW21Z model.

There is installed Vista Premium 32bit (default).
The BIOS and System info in the Vista show 4GB installed.

When I open the Task Manager it showes me only 2056MB of Physical Memory. (2gb)

Is there any fix for this?

Thanks.

Regards,
Manuel

32-bit Windows has a physical memory limitation and to use the full 4GB you will have to consider 64-bit Vista.

Sounds suspect to me...you should still be able to see 3GB on 32bit... I have 4GB too but I see 3GB which I expected in 32bit
are you sure your chipset fully supports more than 2GB? Ignore what Bios states - we had a company full of Acer laptops - really expensive ones (1200 each) and all of them had 4GB ram - only to find while BIOS stated this, the actual chipset did NOT support it and therefore were limited to 3GB
