Question

New RAM

by Aug 6, 2011 11:53PM PDT

I just added 4 gb of Ram, (2 cartridges of 2 gb each), of DD2 PC5300, from Crucial. While the computer does run much, much better, I noticed when I went to SYSTEM in the CONTROL PANEL, that the machine is only recognizing 2.99 gb of the new RAM. Why is that? Does it make any difference in performance, and if so, what can I do about it? Thanks for any help or input you can give.
