I was doing a search for something and I saw this comment: According to HP your laptop has an Intel 945 chipset. That chipset only does 32bit addressing so you won't be able to use all 4GB of your RAM, since some of that address space is reserved for hardware IO. Even running 64 bit Windows, you're stuck with 32 bits of hardware address space because of the chipset
Found it a bit ineteresting...
