.Olbricht. Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Why is Windows saying that my "total" RAM is 3.2 GB when it should be 4? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/467032-some-ram-missing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0mm2k8 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 You have 32 bit or 64 bit OS? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/467032-some-ram-missing/?do=findComment&comment=1060285657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Olbricht. Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 32 bit. Why? What is the difference anyway? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/467032-some-ram-missing/?do=findComment&comment=1060287152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedaTed Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 32 bit. Why? What is the difference anyway? 32 bit will only recognize up to 3 gb of ram. If you want to utilize the extra 1 gb then you need to upgrade to a 64 bit version of your operating system.

mkey82 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 32 bit systems can address up to 4GB addresses and hence you can have only a to total of 4GB memory. The problem is, those addresses will include everything * system memory ranges * VRAM * RAM so when it all adds up, you usually end up with about 3.2GB of available RAM. To make things more interesting, user applications by default can allocate only 2GB of those 4GB addresses, the other half being reserved for the system. 32 bit systems are becoming very limited in this regard, as memory became cheap.
