    Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!

    I'm looking to buy a CPU for this thing still, and right now I have 130. I'm not looking to save it up, and i'm looking for something better than the POS I have right now. Now i'm not willing to spend all the 130, but anything around the 100's would be nice. I have the gfx card to play games, the processor is what's bringing my build down.

    It seems like there's nothing I can do, but I got a second 2GB stick of RAM for my computer, and it only recognizes 3326MB of it. I'm running 64bit Windows 7, and my motherboard says it supports 4GB of RAM. Anything I can do with this without getting a new motherboard? Does 4GB max mean 3.3GB max?

    "3.25GB usable"

    I'm trying to figure out why this is.

    First of all, you will never be able to use all 4GB because Windows reserves space (I can use 3,86GB for instance). There are a lot of factors why this could be the case: Have you looked inside your Bios for a x64 option?

    3.25GB is more than enough btw. No application will ever use that much RAM unless dedicated.

    No single application, that is. You'll always want a couple hundred megabytes free...just in case.

    Thinking about upgrading my gfx card and cpu to something a bit more intense. Currently running an HD4850 512mb and an AMD X2 6000+. Motherboard can handle AM3 processors, but not DDR3 ram (currently on 4GB of 800MHz DDR2). Mainly so I can play BC2 at a decent level, what would you guys recommend if i'm wanting to be pretty cheap with this upgrade?

    e:Was looking at maybe a 5770 and an AMD X4 955, or would there be something else that would be better at a similar price?
