BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - anybody good with computer hardware here?

I just upgraded the 2GB of RAM in my laptop to 4GB, I have windows vista SP2. It shows only 3.5 GB is available, but after reading a couple of articles on why it does that I'm fine with it.

The real problem is now it's using more RAM to do the same stuff. I'm just browsing the internet, have a few tabs open, and iTunes, and it's using 2.3GB (according to task manager). I used to be able to do this same stuff before when I had only 2GB of ram installed. Any clue as to why it uses more RAM now?

thanks!
