32 bit Windows 7 supports, in theory, 4 GB of ram (x86).
It gets mapped down to 3GB due to various reasons, including PCI address space.
(note, they _could_ support 64GB but choose not to, see Windows Server 2008 limit on x86).

None of which explains the slowdowns though. In no particular order, you may want to:
Clear browser cache, disable various browser add-ons.
Erase temp files.
Stop running services you don't need.
Check the system with a different virus/malware scanner.
Defrag the hard disk.
Make sure your disk controller is running in AHCI mode (if you are using SATA drives and have a good AHCI controller).
Format and start fresh (ouch).
Somehow trade in your 32 bit Win7 for 64 bit. (also ouch but you'll get all 6GB of RAM).

I forgot to mention that this 7 was an upgrade from 32 bit vista, in which I apparently found a workaround for the 4gb limitation. I don't remember how i got around it, but with vista I was running all 6gb with no problems (aside from vista sucking of course). It has been 6 weeks since I upgraded to 7 and friday was the first time I have experienced this problem. Before friday it was using and recognizing all 6gb ram, and I have not upgraded any hardware in some time, at least since I got 7.

Maybe some PAE setting on the motherboard or some extender software that leverages PAE.

Does this look familiar at all?

That does look familiar, and might be similar to how I fixed vista to run more than 4gb. I will give it a shot, but won't hold my breath. if it doesn't work, I am just going to scrap this installation of 7 since I fucked it up in the first place (long story).

thanks.

Try doing this:
1. Grab a "live cd" linux distro and boot the system up with that. Transfer everything over to a jump drive(s) will you get your shit off.
2. Go here and download a certified copy of Windows 7. You will need a Windows 7 license, but I'm not here to show you how to use google.

3. Burn the ISO to a 4.7gb DVD
4. Make sure your system is set to boot from the CD/DVD drive (in system bios, boot order).
5. Boot the DVD, wipe it clean (format) and install Windows 7 w/ sp1. That little 8mb partition is usually where the hardware provider puts their crap; you can delete it because it'll be geared towards Vista and you're trying to get Windows 7 on it, right?

Hardware reserved memory usually is memory reserved within the BIOS for built-in display adapters. IE: in a desktop with an external video adapter, it'll usually have memory built onto the card so it won't use system memory but laptops usually have video built onto the system board, so require onboard memory. What changed recently? Upgrade your BIOS? You should be able to go into the BIOS and change the amount of memory that system is taking up for video to something like 256mb, and that should reflect what Windows sees. Good luck.

ps: try doing a BIOS update as well.

My laptop isn't reading discs properly anymore. It knows one is there but won't run it. For example I put in a DVD, It spins, the little icon shows up with the film name but it won't play.

Can anyone help? Does it just need to be cleaned?

sounds like it is time to replace the drive.
Have you tried other disks?
