Hi. Recently i upgraded my ram memory. I had a 1 GB ram in 2 slots. Then I bought 2 GB of RAM and replaced 1 GB and then i had 3 GB. Then I added 2 GB to maximum 4 as the motherboard could support, but then there was a problem in the sense that I only had 3.25 usable.

This is more than likely because you're using a 32 bit operating system. In order to see over 4GB of RAM you need a 64 bit OS.

This was already addressed in your other thread.

The 945 chipset only supports 32 bit addressing.
