4GB RAM installed,only 929MB usable

[Xmasforever]

Hello,I recently bought a new HP 650 Notebook.As you may know from the title of the post,I have 4 GB RAM installed,but only 929 MB usable. I run Windows 7 32 bit.I am aware that 32 bit systems can use RAM up to 4GB,but I don`t know if it can use exactly 4 GB.I really want to use all my RAM,and I am ready to change to a 64 bit system if that is the problem.

The following weblink has some good explanation:

http://superuser.com/questions/236136/installed-memory-4gb-but-only-1-93-gb-is-usable-shows-in-syste...

check in BIOS about the video memory and change it accordingly.

If you need more help, please provide the product number of your notebook.

The new HP Bios fixes this issue. Ours went from 929MB to 2.66GB
