Why 4GB display as 3.25GB RAM total?

by daughn . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

Just got a Gateway FX400XL installed with 4GB RAM, but the system info shows 3.25G, and the Task Manager show physical of 3.40—–G. I know some large part is used for the OS, but both my other computers show exact 1GB and 1GB for memory under both System Info, and Task Manager Physical Memory. There is a problem. Anyone have any ideas? Switching memory modules have each pair showing 2GB RAM in two of the slots, but when all put in 4 slots, show 3.25GB
