Re: Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769) 4gb of RAM only 3gb recognized
I know I know it,s "normal"!
I have installed 4GB of RAM but I'm running Windows XP 32-bit SP2
I,ve read somewhere that to be able to upgrade from XP 32-bit to Vista 64-bit, we only needed to make sure that :
1. you need to HAVE a 64 bit processor.
2. the motherboard and bios MUST be 64 bit enabled.
3. the chipset MUST be 64 bit compatible
So I've been using PC Wizard to check my computer's information and here's what I see :
