    Hello again

    Thanks to help and guidance from members of this Forum I have now successfully completed replacing my 2x1GB RAM with 2x2GB RAM. :D

    Looking in my System under Control Panel and also in CPU-z I now see a figure of 4GB.

    However I know from reading posts in this Forum that my Vista SP1 32 bit laptop will only address 3.00 to 3.25 of RAM.

    Is there any way for me to find out how much RAM is actually being addressed by my system ?

    Many thanks guys.

    Both show only 3GB which is what I had expected.

    Appreciate your very prompt and helpful responses.
