Vince & Tim,
Thank you for your help. I checked the bios settings and everthing seemed to be in order so I decided to shut down and take the memory modules out and re-install them in three steps 1>2>4. Fortunately, that did the trick.
Adobe Premiere Pro nows states: Installed ram 8gb. Ram for PPro 6.5gb Ram reserved for other application 1.5gb.
Now I have follow up questions. Is this configuration the best? Should more memory be dedicated to PPRo? When I use Photoshop or AfterEffects, etc… will it only have 1.5gb for use?
If you respond to the follow up questions, great. If not, thank you anyways. This is the first time I use creative cow forum and I am very impressed. Thank you.
