    I just got my new memory in today. So I updated BIOS and ran Memtest86 10 passes each stick.
    All looks good, but one thing I noticed in resource monitor, I got 512mb of memory being
    hardware reserved.

    So I was wondering whats everyone else showing?

    Specs:
    3.0>3.8ghz
    4gb DDR2 1100 (PC2 8800)
    Windows7 32-bit "I broke my 64-bit disc"

    I'm sure someone else will go into more detail but its because you are using 32bit edition of Windows.

    Do you want a copy of the 64bit? If you broke your 64bit, you could just acquire another copy.
