    Alrite lads!

    I just upgraded my PC To 4GB Of ram today, and im running Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit,

    Now i don't have the option of installing a 64 bit OS (I Dont have the CD, my friends let me take one of him)

    When i went into system it said that ive 4GB (3.25GB Usable) Can someone tell me if theres a way i can make all the ram Usable without installing 64 (I Would if i could)

    Anyways, Cheers for the help i get :)

    There isn't a way. You need 64 bit.

    I dont know if Win7 is the same as Vista was, but if it is then the DVD determines 32/64 bit and the key what version, so all you need to do is dl the right 64bit ISO for your Win7 version (OEM/Retail/MSDN/etc) and you could change to 64bit and use all your RAM.
