I was using MacOSX 10.5 on my MacBook until today and I had 4GB of memory there.
Now I have updated to MacOSX 10.6 and it only displays 3GB.
Why is that? How can I fix it?
Also, I am a bit wondering why most people (well, most of the Google hits explained the 3GB issue that way -- leaving out the fact that it has worked earlier) are saying that a 32bit system can under no circumstances access more than 3.2GB. Don't we have PAE nowadays in most systems?
Thanks, Albert
What does system profiler say is installed in each memory slot? – Troggy – 2010-05-12T22:12:11.833
Each 2 GB. Also "About this Mac" says there is 4GB. Just the Taskmanager (and also console tools like top) say there is only 3GB available. This was different in MacOSX 10.5 where they all showed up 4GB. – Albert – 2010-05-12T22:26:06.590
