A question about ram

Comment:

Hi I increased my ram making it 4gb but My Computer states 3326gb. Why doesnt it recognise the full 4gb?

32-bit Windows OS cannot utilize ( address )more RAM than roughly 3.5 GB. Since your apparent RAM is close to 3.25GB ( less than 3.5 GB ), some of your RAM may be being utilized by your graphics card. Check if your Dell machine has on-board graphics chipset that shares memory with RAM. Regards SuatCINI
