So i put in 4 more gigs on ram , taking it to 7 gb ram , which resulted in some post error ,, so i removed the old 1 gb and it then booted into windows and shows me

installed ram : 6 gb , usable ram : 4.94 gb , what is this due to?

TIA
 
What all you have on the system. Even mine shows this, when highly OC'ed. I guess it confuses with the page file.
 
i got like 4 hdds a 8800 gt gfx card and the motherboard is a asus p5b dlx running a q6600 at stock
 
Most probable the OS is confused with the paging file. Is your page file set to 6GB..?
 
Please mention the full configuration.

Also mention the OS you use. :)

I presume you are using 64-bit OS.

Have you done this yet?

BIOS > Advanced Configuration > Chipset > North Bridge Configration > Memory Remap Feature > Enabled
