Click to expand...

the reason your 160g hdd shows up as 149g is because hdd manufactuers use 1000mb's to measure a full gigabyte, while windows uses the more correct 1024.. so in actuality you only have a 149gb hard drive.. works the same way for everyone else.

Hanzu has a different problem.. one i'm going to try to figure out. :)

edit: make sure all the ram you have installed is compatible with your motherboard.. you can do this by reviewing your motherboard manual, or googling your motherboard model.

double edit doh': i wasn't paying attention to your specs, forgive me ;) Does windows even reconize more than 2gb?

Yes I had The exacat sam Problem Xp will only read a maximum of 3G I believe. To get it to use the full 4G you need to use 3gb/switch to allow the Pc to see the total 3 gig and have the other one gig as sperate.
