I think the reason I thought I had 3 gigs is because 32 bit only reads up to 3.25 gigs. So, I guess I forgot I had 4 gigs. Based off of what you told me and what I learned in school about memory, I am going to guess that 3.75 gb is for applications and the other .25 gb is for the system to...

I am almost positive that I have 3 gigs installed, but now that I think about it when I had XP 32 bit it showed 3.25 GB. Let's say I do have 4 GB installed, why does it say I only have 3GB usable? Either way, this is a strange problem.
