Default Windows 7 'Hardware Reserved Memory'

Hi, I noticed today that Windows 7 says I can only use 3gb out of 4gb. I am using the 64bit version. Dxdiag says that my graphics card is 2gb memory, but it is only one. I think the problem lies there. I've googled and found something on memory remapping ...

Default Windows 7 'Hardware Reserved Memory'

Hi,

I noticed today that Windows 7 says I can only use 3gb out of 4gb. I am using the 64bit version. Dxdiag says that my graphics card is 2gb memory, but it is only one. I think the problem lies there. I've googled and found something on memory remapping in BIOS, but I can't seem to find it in my BIOS. Anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks.

Problem solved. Apparently the problem was setting number of processors and memory for booting in msconfig caused this. But Dxdiag still shows 2gb memory for graphics card, which is strange.
