This thread is so inaccurate please gas this shit [editline]11:52PM[/editline] that is right I am not on something awful, it is maybe because your GPU is using shared resources of 1.5gb
[QUOTE=sbradford26;18708774]I wonder how that got set but I have to say 6 gigs is a little overkill you really only need 4 and games won't even take all of that.[/QUOTE] GTA IV needs around a nice 5-6 GB for smooth gameplay with textures at high (if you have 512 MB VRAM).
PCI memory remaping enable it problem solved !!! [editline]04:58AM[/editline] it\'s in the bios hurr durr
[QUOTE=and;18709377]Uh, no. Your motherboard has to support a CPU that supports 64-bit so you can run a 64-bit OS that supports more than 4GB of RAM.[/QUOTE] This only counts for Windows. Linux in 32-bit-mode supports full PAE (Your Mobo just have to support PAE too which is true for nearly every board) which means it can allocate 2^48 bit of ram. This is very much above the 4 GB limit which only Windows has (for an economical reason to get people to 64bit). And to the problem and the solution: I had this too on my test-PC for Windows 7, but not only for ram but also the CPU. I tested W7 on my old AMD 6000+ (Dual Core) and 2 GB ram and then put the test-HDD to my new rig with a core-i5 750 (quad) and 4GB ram. Now I only had 2 cores and max of 2 GB. The solution was also editing /MAXMEM and /NUMPROC in msconfig.

It's only enabled on the server editions which all used relatively specialized software anyways, so.

Why cant Windows 7 setup automatically detect this type of stuff. Stupid M$!!! Grrr :(
[QUOTE=Odellus;18707103]No. [editline]09:01PM[/editline] Get out really. Q8300 is horrible. Buying it is almost as stupid as buying an E8600.[/QUOTE] E8600 would be a huge step over my E6600... -_-
[QUOTE=Pixel Heart;18715129]E8600 would be a huge step over my E6600... -_-[/QUOTE] no, it's stupid because the E8400 is basically the same and much cheaper
[QUOTE=YodaEXE;18709342]That's not even close to true. I'm currently running 4gb and I routinely max it out. Between Firefox, Windows itself, and a virtual machine of some form of Linux, I can easily use 4gb. Just because you can't use more than 4gb doesn't mean others can't. Personally, I can't wait til January when I upgrade my system to a quad core and 8gb of RAM. I should hopefully stop maxing out my system then.[/QUOTE] I am talking average user and you sir have a virtual computer making you not the average user.
[QUOTE=sbradford26;18706520]It could be some massive integrated usage.[/QUOTE] I fail to understand how someone could come up with an answer like this. I mean, really, come on. Why.
[QUOTE=apierce1289;18706860]Y i like the more expensive one :D I dont comprehend ur logic :( [editline]08:49PM[/editline] And my board is an LGA 775 so the i5 is a no go :([/QUOTE] Just because it is LGA775 does not mean it supports newer processors. Just noting this incase no one else decided to check.
[QUOTE=xyx;18719748]I fail to understand how someone could come up with an answer like this. I mean, really, come on. Why.[/QUOTE] Because that is how integrated pulls out memory for its use. I was thinking his bios got screwed up and was taking way to much.
[QUOTE=sbradford26;18719971]Because that is how integrated pulls out memory for its use. I was thinking his bios got screwed up and was taking way to much.[/QUOTE] Neither integrated video cards nor BIOSes take up 4,5GB of memory. What the fuck.
