asked on Asus P5LD2-Deluxe Motherboard - Appropriated Ram?
Hi All,
I have an Asus P5LD2 Deluxe Motherboard that I want to upgrade the memory on. It currently only has 1gb of DDR2 (2 x 512meg stick)
I purchased a matched pair of PNY 2gb DDR2 sticks, the machine POSTS & boots fine. In the BIOS it shows up as
System Memory: 5200MB
Appropriated: 1500
Available: 3500
I'm currently running a 32 bit OS, so I understand that it will only be able to use a maximum of 4gb. I'm prepping to upgrade to Windows 7 Enterprise x64 when I have a chance..
What does the "Appropriated" memory mean? My Google-Fu turned up that I need to enable memory remapping, but I cannot find that option anywhere in the BIOS. I should note I also upgraded to the latest stable bios for the motherboard last night.
Cheers

Asus support? no thanks the machine is quite old.
I'll try removing the two 512mb sticks and go from there.

Bugger of it is, other than the memory this machine is more than enough power for what I use it for @ home. So I can't really justify upgrading to the wife.
