I am using window 7 ultimate 32-bit. I have 6 RAM. Yet i see that windows using only 2.99GB.
I need to install Adobe software which have a minimum requirements in regards to the RAM. How can i use the entire 6RAM i have? Do i have to format my drive and install the 64Bit windows or there is another way?
The most any 32 bit operating system can see is 4gb. There are "cheats" that Microsoft and possibly others have implemented (in Microsoft's case, the "cheat" is only available in server enterprise and datacenter (using 36 bits of address space if the hardware supports it))
You might be able to get more usable RAM if you downgrade.your video card (the video card ram is stealing address space from the regular RAM). Of course doing that will reduce the effectiveness of your graphics subsystem.
Bottom line, you want more available RAM you NEED a 64 bit operating system.
