FC9x64 recognize only 3.2 GB

[Enrique Garcia]

I have Intel Core Duo with Asus P5K Motherboard with 4xDIMM DDR2 800 1GB RAM

In the manual of Asus P5K Motherboard say that some 32 bits operation
system. only recognize less than 3 GB and the Motherboard support
maximun 8GB
FC9x64 only reconize 3.2 like FC8x32 and FC9x32.

It's a motherboard issue or really depend on operation system????

Regards

PD: in the manual  say "if you install Windows XP/Vista 32bit
operation system a total memory of less than 3GB is recommended"

I have a Asus P5E-VM motherboard that is showing 4GB of RAM, which is
what I have, when running F9 x86_64

  Go into your bios and turn in the memory remap option. I think it is 
under advanced somewhere. It takes me up from 3.2gb to 3969mb, missing 
127mb.

  I have two ASUS P5B motherboards. One is Deluxe and one is Premium, 
basically the same board. Both have this option in the bios. On my Abit 
AB9 Pro board it is automatic. I did have a problem at first with this 
option where I had to disable agp on boot to prevent an oops, but this 
problem seems to have gone away.
