Subject: 6 GB RAM and only 2.41 is used.
I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 32-bit. I have 6 GB RAM installed but it says that only 2.41 is usable. My previous Windows was 7 64-bit. I just bought the laptop like two weeks ago, so it's brand new. The system type is: 32-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.
Any help?
It says 2.41GB is usable or that 2.41GB is used?
*You* said both. ;-)
However, if you somehow put 32-bit Windows 8 on a system where you had a 64-bit OS before - you have lost the ability to use more than 4GB and the way things work, you will have between 2.5GB and 3.75GB usable.
This wouldn't be on a mac, would it?
