I have a laptop (Acer 5741G) with 4 GB RAM. I run Windows 7 32bit

>ControlPanel >System shows that: Installed Memory(RAM) 4.00 GB (2.53 GB usable).

I found some patches for Windows 7 and applied them to my system and now it shows this : Installed Memory(RAM) 4.00 GB(3.87 GB usable)

I want to know is there any solution for get 4.00 GB usable in Windows 7 32bit?

how do i uninstall this patch?
2012-01-11 21:23:00
perhaps like thisif you open system configuration (on run type msconfig) then click on boot you have to see two boot options one is for the normal windows and the other patch, perhaps you can delete from there. Also the patched kernel file "ntkrlICE.exe" in the folder "C:Windowssystem32" can also be safely deleted.http://www.unawave.de/windows-7-tipps/32-bit-ram-barrier.html?lang=EN

do you have graphic card? if so, then the integrated Graphic and the graphic card shared the memory together.. i'm also in 64bit OS. Just like you said, DONT WORRY.. when it comes in running 64 bit application, the OS use all your RAM. The things that it shows the usable memory is that many application that running is 32 bit. Look at your task manager, view the processes... lots of x32.. :)

why you using software instead you can set in msconfig tab.. i've 2GB vram graphic card,4GB of ram memory.. 1. Type msconfig in the search box2. goto Boot tab3. click Advanced Options4. Tick Maximum memory to your full ram. (in my case 4GB, so 4096)5. Then press OK.6. Double check it again by click the Advanced options again. If you found out that the Maximum memory reset to 0, then change it to 4095.7. Restart your computer.

HI Farhad2161It does seem to be a glitch to have only 2.53 usable ram for 4 GB installed, and I am glad you have found a fix, but I do agree with Tina that you might have reached your maximum. Ram gets mapped by certain programs and hardware as you boot you computer, so for example, if you have a built in video card that used 256 mb of ram, it will map and reserve that as you boot, so it's very common for ram to show lower than the total amount installed.

Farhad,we had a similar question, previouslySaikat had the perfect answer to that one. In short, don't worry, it's normal and you most likely can't increase it any further.However, I would be interested in learning what type of fix you found online to go from 2.53 GB, which is way too little usable RAM for 4 GB installed, to 3.87 GB. This information may be helpful for others.

I used http://www.tarfandestan.com/files/Patch-3-Windows-Vista-and-7.zip and it changed usable RAM from 2.53 GB to 3.87 GB.
