Memory only 63.4GB Usable?

[yukita]

My rig -->
showed only 63.4GB usable. is it normal?
as far as i understand X79 dont have onboard graphic, hence not using any ram. but why only 63.4GB usable instead of 64GB?

anyone else using 64GB also?

u have 64gb ram, why do u need the 600mb for...

System limitation

It is due to the OS that does not fully recognize the full 64GB memory.

Normal answer: Yes, that is normal. Some RAM of the total installed will be "reserved"

Honest answer: 600MB of 65,536MB cannot use still complain

not that im complaining. cos i google here, memory support suppose to be higher at 192gb. so 64gb cannot use 64gb just wanna know why lor....

nothing to hao lian also... not that its very expensive rig like the elite here

Windows 7 Professional limits up to 192 GB of physical memory but if I am not wrong your X79 motherboard only supports up to 64 GB of physical memory.

Supports up to 64GB of physical RAM but there will always be a small system reserve one what. Surprised you don't already know this.

i guess xRenol and devilwahaha is correct

"When the physical RAM that is installed on a computer equals the address space that is supported by the chipset, the total system memory that is available to the operating system is always less than the physical RAM that is installed.

For example, consider a computer that has an Intel 975X chipset that supports 8 GB of address space. If you install 8 GB of RAM, the system memory that is available to the operating system will be reduced by the PCI configuration requirements. In this example, PCI configuration requirements reduce the memory that is available to the operating system by an amount that is between approximately 200 MB and approximately 1 GB. The reduction depends on the configuration. "

Good information for the not so knowledgeable guy like me to know. If TS didn't bother to go find out, then I would not even know there will be this scenario.


Thank you TS for the info as I benefit from it....
