Hey all,

Straight to the point: I have 4x2GB RAM sticks and 2x1GB installed (Windows 7 UItimate 64bit) and in the bios it says I have 6GB installed, in CPUZ it says 10GB installed and Windows says 8GB installed 6GB Usable.

Installed like this:
|---2GB---| A
|---2GB---|

|---2GB---| B
|---2GB---|

|---1GB---| C
|---1GB---|

wat do :)

What mobo are you using? And are you sure none of the ram sticks are dead...also what are the exact specs on those ram sticks?
