Hi all, happy new year ;p
I recently upped my ram on my MB to 4gig for my Windows 7 ultimate to which my pc now states i only have 2.9gig usable ? guess thats the 64bit OS eating at it ? anyway my question is :-
What determines the maximum ram a MB can handle ?
Reason i ask is because my dad has an old Imedia which states its maximum is 2 gig but he has 3gig installed and windows recognises it and it runs fine with no issues.
My ixtreme has two slots and i want to know what would happen if i put 2 x 4gig trips in ? PackBell state 3 gig max but is that because the pc originally came with 32bit vista or is it a MB thing ?
Hope some one can clarify this for me.
Regards,
Lee.
