I am running a core 2 duo E6600 (a 64bit cpu) with a Intel P35
motherboard and 4gb of memory. My os is vista 64bit ultimate. I
installed 64bit so i can use my full 4gb but i only get 3,6gb. I
already tried to set my HPET (memory remapping ?) to 64bit and also
completely off but it doesnt help Anyone has a solution ?

Hi,
See this knowledge base article:

"The system memory that is reported in the System Information dialog box in
Windows Vista is less than you expect if 4 GB of RAM is installed"

Carlos, are you sure that article is applicable to 64bit Windows?

I was thinking it might be more a memory remapping setting in the BIOS or
something.
