Hi,

Have you installed Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista - this is an issue that
was addressed in the Service Pack.

Have you enabled memory remap in the BIOS? The remap
will move the hardware addressing to the 5th GB, giving
Vista 64 access to the full 4GB.

 

Service pack 1 is installed, i did this yesterday and still no 4gb

How do i enable memory remap in vista 64

This sounds like it could fix it D

'CPU-Z Validator 3.0' (http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=539329

 

The memory remap option is not available in my BIOS =\

Can it be emulated or forced in Vista or XP?

 

No, it has to be done in the BIOS.

 

Try checking the web site for the motherboard manufacturer. There may be a
BIOS update. Check your motherboard manual too - there should be a PDF
online - for memory mapping information.

 

I think there's someting more going on than just the available
memory issue. Did anyone notice that the OP's system has a
3.06 GHz P4 and 533MHz RAM, but only has a performance
rating of 1. With those specs it should be in the vicinity of 4.
My old 2.4GHz P4 with PC3200 RAM rated at 3.7.

 

remove/replace ram
turn on computer
recheck windows experience index ratings

 

I think there's someting more going on than just the available

Good catch. The OP needs to drill down and get the details of of the
experience index to see which item is not performing.

Or which failed to complete a performance test, Vista assumes 1.0 until
proven otherwise.
