Hi
I have been refurbishing an old computer lately and have almost finished it
But I have hit a problem with the RAM
I can only use 3GB out of the 4GB I have installed
The computer is manufactured by HP though the motherboard was made by ASUS
This is the motherboard model - ASUS PTGD1-LA
HP have a different name for it - Puffer UL8E
The processor I have is an Intel Pentium 4 640 which is a 64 bit processor
And like I said in the title I have 64 bit windows 8 installed
Can someone please explain to me why it's only picking up 3.12 GB of RAM
Computers Specs
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 640 (3.2 GHz)
RAM: 4GB DDR1 RAM (4X1) 400MHZ
HDD: Seagate barracuda 7200.7 (200GB 7200RPM)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5450 (Low Profile Bracket) PCI-E
