I recently built a new computer. I put vista ultimate 64bit on it for the os.
Everything seems to be ok so far except for the memory issue. I installed 12 gigs of ram on the mother board and vista only show if have this.

Installed Physical memory 12.0 gb
Total Physical memory 3.99 gb
Available Physical memory 10.3 b
Total Virtual memory 23.9gb
Available virtual memory 22.3gb
Page file space 12.3 gb

This seems to me that all the memory is not seen. The motherboard shows all 12 gb in bios. What can I do to get vista to see and use all the ram, I do video editing I thought I doing a good thing with more ram and vista 64bit.

system spec:
OS Vista ultimate 64bit
Intel core i7 920
Corsair dominator 12 gb ddr3 tri channel memory
ASUS p6t Deluxe Lga intel x58 atx motherboard
Evga Geforce GTX 260 superclocked edition 896mb 448-bit gddr3
Wd Cavia black 500 gb hd
Wd Cavia black 1Tb hd
Corsair 850tx power supply

If anyone can help, I thank you in advance.

BTW nice system but 12gb!!! :) wateva nice anyway. Abit stumped here as Vista ultimate x64 can have up 2 128gb max memory u sure its the x64 version as on install u get the option to put ultimate 32bit on?

On the Asus bios try the option to remap memory this should do the trick i think have a go and let us know.

hello again. thanks for the help....
this goes out to "Brink"...I did what you told me to do and now my system is completely useless.. I have changed something that will only allow vista to see and use 256 mb ram.
I sure could use some help in reversing that change that was made.
can anyone help?
i am running the 64 bit version of vista ultimate, i can see all 12 gigs of ram in bios, but thats it. I on another computer now cause i can't use the new one.
thanks

I run 16GB of RAM. Make sure remapping is enabled in your CMOS.

I can't find any remapping option in the bios or cmos, any other ways to get the os
to see all the memory? Has anyone heard of the "hotfix" microsoft has for this issue?

Did you make sure everything was unchecked?

If it is, then check the option for memory mapping, and select all of your ram 12GB = 12288MB.

Also check the suggestion from Michael as well.

Hello everyone,
I have fixed my issue with vista not seeing the memory. I downloaded the SP2 for
vista x64/windows server 2008. This has corrected my problem. Thanks again for the help.
