Hi,
I have installed some new RAM into my computer, replacing an 512MB stick with a 2GB one.
After some issues, I have succesfully booted the computer, however the system shows 3,5GB of installed memory (and 2,5GB of this can be used), while it's 4 GB.
The memory sticks' pins are not damaged as far as I know, also, the system (before the new RAM) used to take 10 MB or similar from the RAM, not 512MB...
Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-945GM 52
RAM Slots: 4 DDRII
1: Kingmax DDRII 1GB
2: Kingmax DDRII 1GB
4: Kingmax DDRII 2GB (the new one)
Videocard: nVidia GeForce 8600 GTX
CPU: Intel Quad double-core 3.00 Ghz
If anyone can give me a hint why is this happened, I would be very happy
