	Being a good W-7 user, this was the first thing that I had a try to fix
this dilemma. As Alan pointed out, it is not a software thing, it does not
take place when the BIOS starts the machine, it is stuck on 3 Gs, before
Windows starts!

	The Toshiba laptop also sports 4 Gs of RAM and uses it all as shown in its
BIOS, minus a few MBs for the shared vidcard. It also runs W-7 in 64 bit
mode.

	Not a big problem as I run only 23% of RAM use in both machines, just a
little frustrating to not be able to get "on top" of this.
