Installed Physical Memory/Total Physical Memory


I just built my first pc running vista home premium x64 sp1. I have 8
gigs of ram installed.Bios sees all 8 gigs.When i display system summary
in vistas system imfromation it states i have 8 gigs installed
memory,3.75 gigs total physical memory,and 6.57 available physical
memory.Can someone please explain to me what this means.Should i have
more than 3.75 gigs of total physical memory? Do i need to
reinstall?Thank You.

Did you enable the memory remap feature in BIOS? This will enable
Vista 64 to access all your 8 GB, although only software written to
access more than 2 GB will be able to use it.

Read this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950233/en-us

then go to the link on the page that says "View and request hotfix downloads".
Its closer to the top and on the left.

DL the hotfix and Mission Accomplished.
