I have 6 gig of RAM in my pc yet it tells me that 3.43 gig is usable. Why is this? And how can i fix this?


(some more information is that 2 gig more RAM was installed recently)

I'd guess your Operating System is 32 bit, which limits your total RAM usage to just under 4GB. You can check in your System Properies if it's 32bit. To access the rest you'll need to install a 64bit OS.

The Windows key you already have will allow you to reinstall the OS in 64 bit. You would need to download the iso file for whatever OS you're on and then create a bootable disc or bootable USB and then install it by booting from the disc/USB in your BIOS.
