Windows 7 evaluation
MilesAhead:
I saw that too. But I thought I remembered another answer. You might look on Annoyances.org. Sounds like something that would pop up there.
Hirudin:
Thanks for the tip, unfortuantely it did not help.
Only thing I was able to find quickly and since I didn't know what exactly to searh for was make Win7 x64 use all your mem…. Unfortuantely that did not help me, the option it says to uncheck was already unchecked.

I'll just throw this out there since this is Windows we're talking about: try unchecking it, restarting, then checking it, and restarting again. Of course the restarts may not be necessary, but they'll make sure the settings are saved.
mrHappy:
I've already tried checking/unchecking and unfortuantely that didn't do anything. I had hoped it would.
Also took a look at Annoyances.org, unfortuantely the only thing I could find on that site was an answer to use 64bit to see (use) all memory. Good answer, unfortuantely not for me.
Eóin:
Any chance Win7 might be spotting a fault with one of the ram sticks (assuming there's 4 1gb ones of course) ? Maybe run a ram check.
mrHappy:
After a look through the bios once more I found what I was looking for, one line of text reading Appropriated 640mb lead me to find that my board does not have support for memory remap, asus have never released a bios that supports it.
So it look like I need a new motherboard before I can make use of all my memory.
