Ok so I bought a F131 Vista PC with 2 Gig of RAM from Maingear and I thought I'd throw some extra RAM in there. I knew going in that I would not get the full 4 gig. I expected to get somewhere aroudn 3 gigs of the 4 gig total because of my dual GTX video cards. Well, I'm only getting 2300 MBs! The full 4 gigs shows up in the Bios so the RAM seems to be ok. I tried the pae switch and it didn't appear to do anything.
Any other suggestions to "reclaim" that missing RAM? If not, does anyone want to buy 1 gig of Corsair PC8500 Ram? My specs are listed below. Thanks in advance for your time!
