    I have two questions about my CF30. I upgraded the memory to 4GB but the system is only seeing 3.24. How do I get it to see the other momory? It's a Mark 1 system with BIOS V1.00L15
    Also, how do I increase the ammount of memory allocated to video memory? Right now it has 9mb allocated with a minimum of 8mb and max of 128mb. One problem is that BIOS is password protected and I lost the password. Is there any way to adjust these two things without being able to access BIOS? Any help would be awesome.

    If you're using a 32-bit OS, it maxes out at ~3.2 GB of RAM. Guide in sig.

    Video memory is dynamically allocated and does not need user interference. We cannot help you with your BIOS password. Contact the manufacturer.
