New Ram
Hi,
I just bought 4g of OCZ DDR2-800 OCZ2VU8002GK ram for my Dell XPS 710, and for some reason it slow my core and only says i have 3g installed.
Heres cpz info before, clock speeed 2394 clock multiplier x9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Number of CPUs 2
CPU #1
APIC ID 0
Name Intel Pentium M
Code name Merom
Specification Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
Family/Model/Stepping 6F6
Extended Family/Model 0/0
Package mPGA-479M
Technology 65nm
Instructions Sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, EM64T
Features NX, VT
Clock Speed 2394.0 MHz
Clock multiplier x9.0
Front Side Bus Frequency 266.0 MHz
Bus Speed 1064.0 MHz
Stock frequency 600 MHz
And heres after with the 4 gigs of the new ram,Clock Speed 1596.0 MHz, Clock multiplier x6.0

The first time you ran the program, the CPU was still under enough load to run at full speed. The second time, it was not and is shown to be at the speedstep setting when idle, nothing to worry about and is definitely not caused by the ram
I honestly thought vista supported larger ram sizes.:shakehead
The OS (Any 32bit OS) can only address 2^32 bits (4,294,967,295) of memory-mapped I/O (MMIO, henceforth). Damn near anything on your computer has an MMIO address; the BIOS, the buses, your VRAM (Which supersedes your DRAM addressing). The computer reserves blocks of MMIO addresses for VRAM, then buses/bridges/BIOS, then DRAM. Your RAM gets all the addressing space left, which is usually 2.5-3.12GB.
And that's that.
muchas gracias!
