Hello,
I have a PC equipped with a MSI motherboard of the Orion type (MS-7168).
The processor is an AMD Athlon 64x2 3800 +
I have 4 GB of RAM installed on the motherboard. It can support at least double that.
My operating system is Windows Home Edition 64-bit.
My issue is with my RAM. Windows detects 2.48 GB instead of 4 GB.
I checked in my BIOS. In the "Extended Memory" section, it shows 2544 MB.
I don't have access to that part of the BIOS configuration; I can only view the information provided and cannot change the displayed values.
Do you know what could be the cause? Is there a way to make it accept my 4 GB of RAM by moving a jumper on the motherboard? Here is its description:

Thank you in advance for your responses ...

That's not what the link you mentioned says (4 GB max).
The "loss" of RAM might be due to an integrated graphics card?
