The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows Vista Business not recognizing 4 GB of memory

Asked by absi81 in Windows Vista, Computer Memory (RAM)

Tags: windows vista, ram, 3 gb, 4 gb, recognizing

My laptop has Vista Business installed, I can't work with its poor performance, so
I bought / installed another new 4GB(2x2GB) Ram to replace the original 1GB
of Ram(Product Spec. told that it support 4GB of Ram). The OS is only seeing 3GB(actually 3070MB)
Physical Memory. I google around and I heard about Hardware's lacking of
remapping feature and Software's 32 bit OS limitation issues, but I hope I
still can hear someone here told me that this is an deadend for getting my
current computer to see and work with 4GB of Ram. knowing that i have service pack2 installed and all of the latest updates.
Can u pls advice?!
