I have tried all the things to do like going to msconfig to untick the memory and max processors. I already switched the slots of my RAM and still I don't get passed the 3.45GB usable of my 6.00GB RAM.

Before I did an upgrade of my mobo. I had the Emaxx EMX-MCP61D3-iCafe with Windows 7 64bit as my OS and I was able to get the full 6.00GB RAM.

Now when I upgraded my mobo to the Asus F2A85-M LE since I upgraded my CPU to the A8-5600k APU, I installed Windows 7 and thats where I got a 3.99GB usable. I was fine with since I used dual graphics with my HD7750 with my A8 APU.

But now to get to the point, its really a waste to not use the extra RAM memory that I have.

I have a Kingston DDR3 2GB and an EMAXX DDR3 4GB RAM.

Any kind of help or other advises is really appreciated. Thank you. :)

How to set the channels properly? I apologize for this stupid question, this is really basic for us enthusiasts, it's only I'm not really good with setting it up in bios and stuff. My apologies. xD
