Atom Quark 437 Posted July 9, 2016 Your Windows must be 32bit. Need 64bit to use over 4 gig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl 986 Posted July 9, 2016 Yes and keep in mind that this 4 GB INCLUDES also your video ram..., so with a 64 bit OS you could use your full 12 GB RAM in your system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
