basically I just got a commando a E6600 and a set of 2x2gb ocz vista gold pc6400.
somehow the POST screen and bios tells me i have 3008mb of memory, windows tells me i have 2.93gb physical memory....wot the hell is going on?
If I take 1 stick out, it says i have 2gb. if i take the other stick out, it says i have 2gb, so it isnt a case of 1 stick being 1gb in size.
do i have some sort of faulty sticks? is the bios misreporting the amount of memory I have? this is a complete mystery to me!
32bit limitation. Open Cpu-Z and it will show you 4096mb.
32 bit operating system. switch to 64 bit and you are good.
QX 9650 5ghz with 1.55v 4.8ghz with 1.5v 24/7 in a VAPOLI V-2000B+ Single stage phase cooling.
DFI LP LT X-38 T2R
2X HD4850's water cooled , volt modded
Thermaltake 1KW Psu
4x Seagate 250GB in RAID 0
8GB crucial ballistix ram
im running vista 64bit and it is telling me 2.93gb, probbaly because the bios is telling IT that i have 3008mb....
why would the bios be reporting wrongly? bios is unrelated to O/S so surely it should show the the correct amount at all times even if i had a 32bit o/s installed?
cpu-z does show 4096mb but i cant believe the bios on a 64bit motherboatd cannot recognise more than old 32bit amount of ram installed.
