Hello, My pc specs are
dual core e2140,
asrock 1333 d667, bios version 1.9,
2*2gb ddr2 ram (770- 800mb hardware reserved, i dont know what is this),
hd6670 gddr5 1gb,
64 bit win8.1.
on inspecting bios i found the shared video memory is set to auto. then i changed it to 1 mb, but to my surprise, the usable ram reduced to around 2.8 gb. I turned off onboard gpu, still the same. I removed the graphic card, set the the onboard gpu memory to 64mb in bios, still no help. as rock official website says the motherboard can't use 4gb max due to chipset limitation. But i do remember that before installing windows 8.1 64bit, i was using vista 32bit, and it was accepting 4gb ram (i know 4gb usable ram on 32 bit is strange, but i remember it was showing 4gb on my computer->properties). So I can say problems did started after installing 64bit win8.1. Mobo experts please help. Thanks :)
