I was aware that windows x86 only supports up to 3GB RAM even if you have more RAM installed. I have 2 PC, in one PC, 2*2GB RAM is installed & In another PC, 1*4GB RAM is installed.
I am suing windows 7, 32 bit since it is released & have seen my memory in Mycomputers->properties that windows shows, 4.00GB (2.97 GB usable). I also tried tweaks which enabled x86 to use up to 128GB RAM.
But now after some updates & also after sp1 update, RAM in BOTH system shows 4.00GB(2.00GB usable). First i thought 1 RAM was fault, but not now, coz another PC has only single piece 4GB RAM & half of it can't go bad physically.
I uninstalled & reinstalled & again uninstalled SP1 & also most of the updates prior to SP1.
But still, i can see only 2GB RAM instead of 2.97GB RAM in both my PC. Also, interesting thing is i never saw windows rounding up & showing. Instead of 1.98 or something, it shows exactly 2 GB RAM usable.
Anyone using Windows 7, 32 bit(x86) also faces similar problem? If not can you please give me your screen shot of installed updates, so that i can compare & find what update causing this STUPID behavior of windows.
