Only 5GB of 6GB of RAM usable?

Hello. I have a Lenovo G50-45 Windows 10 Professional 64-bit with a 64-bit AMD A8-6410 APU processor laptop.<br>I somewhy only have 5GB of ram usable when I have 6gb DDR3. I have unchecked maximum memory in msconfig, and have set the number of processors to 4, but still nothing.

<br>Why is this? Please help <br>

The GPU part of the APU is likely using up the 1Gb..

Uh, is this supposed to happen? :P
Would it be more convenient for me, if I could, to change that?

It is totally normal and my APU A8-6600K uses some of my RAM up as well. And you can't change any of the memory usage,, as far as I understand.

Yes.. Well.. you'll have 15Gb usable. Which is a lot, IMO. Right now you have 5Gb and that should be fine for normal usage.
