System Info in CCleaner

Hi All,

CCleaner is telling me that I only have 3 GB of ram installed, when I am supposed to have 4. Windows is telling me that I have 4. I just got this new computer and I would just like to make sure that this is incorrect. Either:

A.) CCleaner is incorrect

B.) Vista is sucking up 1 GB just by idling and thats where the memory went.

C.) Sony scammed me and I have to yell at them for ripping me off

Thanks,

Danielle

Dude, Where's My 4 Gigabytes of RAM?

Due to fallout from a recent computer catastrophe at work, I had the opportunity to salvage 2 GB of memory. I installed the

memory in my work box, which brings it up to 4 gigabytes of RAM-- 4,096 megabytes in total. But that's not what I saw in

System Information:

1. Can Windows access memory above 4GB?

a. 32-bit ? NO

b. 64-bit ? Maybe (due to chipset limitations)

2. Can your processor access memory above 4GB?

a. If it?s recent then it might, and if it?s either AMD64 or EM64T it?s almost certain

3. Does your chipset allow pages to be remapped above 4GB?

a. Probably not ? and that?s what?s catching people who install 64-bit Vista to work around point 1 ? they find they

still cannot see above 4GB

The virtual address space of processes and applications is still limited to 2 GB, unless the /3GB switch is used in the

Boot.ini file. The following example shows how to add the /3GB parameter in the Boot.ini file to enable application memory

tuning:

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="????" /3GB
