Victor, I tried one of my other laptops running 7077 and it says the same thing...hmmm.

Some suggestions from neowin were that it may be related to the microsoft video driver. ATI just released a Win7 beta driver which I'm downloading now and will install. The suggestion was that the Video RAM is being subtracted from the system RAM, however, the HD 3200 has its own dedicated RAM, so it may be in how Win7 is calculating the total RAM. But, in a 64 bit system, that should not matter. I'll post more about this after I experiment some.

EDIT: New driver made no difference in memory useage but someone posted on neowin that it may be due to ATI's "Hypermemory" setting reserving extra memory for the display adapter. ATI Catalyst does not have any settings that I can find to change that but I'll dig deeper.

Woohoo! I won my Touchsmart!

Same issue here I have 4GB installed on my Dell Inspiton 1520 with Windows 7, but shows only 3.75GB usable. I have a Nvidid GeForce 8400M GS with 128MB RAM itself. I have tried the new Nvidia driver for Windows 7 but this disables my external monitor from display 32bit color, reduces it to 16bit and disables aero. Not sure why so I'm using the Dell Nvidia driver for Vista.

^What he said.

Vista has the exact same thing, however it does not display such, opting to tell you only how much total memory your system has.

If you read the first post there, you would see that he is talking about the touchsmart laptop. Not an intel chipset in it....(see AMD....), and it was explained why he was seeing the RAM at 3.75gb quite well. Thread necromancy with wrong info ftw.
