memory remapping

About this tag
Memory remapping is a BIOS feature that allows the system to reassign memory addresses above the 4 GB boundary, enabling 64-bit operating systems to use all installed RAM. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss issues when this option is missing from BIOS, leading to problems like hardware reserved memory consuming large amounts of RAM, or the system not recognizing full memory capacity. Common scenarios include upgrading RAM on older motherboards (e.g., Abit IP35 Pro) or laptops (e.g., Lenovo T400) where the BIOS lacks a remap toggle. Troubleshooting steps often involve BIOS updates, checking memory slot configurations, and adjusting msconfig settings. The tag covers threads about BSOD errors linked to memory remapping being disabled, and workarounds for systems where the option is unavailable.

    Windows 7 Win7 64 - Installed 8GB, it sees 8, but only 5.3 physical memory used

    I was really hoping for at least 6 or 7....is this "normal"? The ram is good, in Bios there is no remap option, my board is an Abit IP35 Pro, I have reflashed the firmware to the latest one as of 2010, and there is no memory remapping option available in BIOS. My video card is an 8800 GTS...
