Hi all,
I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 nVidia nForce4 Ultra motherboard. I have decided to install win XP 64 so I can access 4 gig memory for later use of the machine as a server.
I installed 4 gig of Kingston hyperx memory. However, the mobo only recognises 3.25 gig or ram. The user manual says that due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage, so the actual amount may be less.
While I can understand some of this, I cannot believe that I have to put up with a 0.75 gig loss. I have upgraded the BIOS to the latest F9 version.
Any suggestions please.
