    hello,
    yesterday, i have replace my 2 `* 1GB Memory to 2 * 2GB Memory on my HP 6910p. In BIOS MEmory check does not show errors.
    But after starting XP, in My Computer Properties i see only 3GB.

    I work with severals VMWare Images so i need all 4 GB.

    Is this a HP Problem or a Windows Problem?

    How can i resolve the Problem

    Thanks for help

    Windows XP is 32bit, which is limited to 3gb of RAM

    You will need to use a 64bit OS to utilize 4gb

    If you want to use all 4gb, you need to install a 64bit OS.
