Vista 64bit edition

Post by ChrisB8084 »

Why won't Vista 64 bit edition see all 4 gigabytes of my memory? Anyone know?

I have a DFI Lanparty UT nForce 4 Ultra D Motherboard

flash the bios to that DFI board... if they are still like they were a year ago then the BIOS is way outdated and prob doesn't either support the ram now or even after the bios flash it might not. But either way its best to do it and DFI has the stuff on their site to do it and perhaps a official BIOS that will do the trick or a beta.

If you dont have a memory remapping option in BIOS then I'd say your out of luck at seeing the full 4 gigs.
