Usually, the memory size recognized by a 32-bit system is about 3.25G, so you may have installed the system incorrectly on a 32-bit system. The system software can be reinstalled with Baiyun one click. This software can change a 32-bit system to a 64 bit system or a 64 bit system to a 32-bit system. It also supports XP,win7,win8,win8.1,win10。 The software can be operated with one button, and the system can be automatically reinstalled with two mouse clicks. Another situation can also lead to this, that is, the maximum memory in the system configuration is set to 3.25G, which also results in only 3.25G of memory being displayed. In this case, we can open the Start menu, select Run, enter MSConfig, and then click OK. The system configuration bar appears, select "Boot", and then click Advanced Options. Then remove the check in front of "Maximum Memory" in the advanced boot option, and click OK to save.Then restart the computer.
Another possible reason is that your hardware does not support the full use of dual channel technology (ECC), making it impossible for two 8GB memories to work together in hyper threading mode.In this case, the system recognizes the total capacity, but the actual utilization rate is limited by the actual speed or compatibility of a single memory.It is recommended to check the BIOS settings or consult professionals to confirm the specific reasons
Sometimes, although your computer displays 16GB of memory, only 24GB is actually available. This may be because the system has reserved some memory for other background processes or virtual memory during operation.This may be caused by the management mechanism of Windows, which makes such settings to ensure the stability and performance optimization of the system
