Are you sure that you actually installed 64bit? What you describe is 32bit behaviour. What does System say (in Control Panel) I have Win8-64bit, 8GB, 7.86 usable.

Been there, done that. Five or six times already. It does NOT work. For some reason Windows 7 has decided that 1 GB of system RAM must be devoted to the video adapter, which has its own 128 MB DDR2 built in. I have a feeling at this point that if there is any solution it's likely to involve FDISK.
