Hi all, I've just upgraded from 4GB to 8GB of RAM. When I look in system information its says the following:

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB

Total Physical Memory 4.00 GB

Available Physical Memory 3.16 GB

I'm basicaly wondering why its says that I have 8GB installed but only 4GB - 'Total Physical Memory'? In Task manager - Performance, it says that I have 8GB of physical memory so it is being used. Thanks for any help Tim

I've got Vista Home Premium 64-bit by the way
