ok i need to check that my new budget build is reading the ram correctly, I have 2x4 gig ram on a msi a55m-e33 mobo, windows shows 8 gig (3.45 usable) and speccy says 3 gig single channel ddr3...Ive asked elsewhere and people have mentioned that the gpu is taking more ram than it needs and i should manually set the ram allocation, Can anyone offer any advice on this? If any more hardware specs are needed then il add as requested, Thanks

so ive figured out how to upload my screens :) so looking at these 2 does it all appear to be ok? as stated im hoping to pinch back a bit of ram and is "single channel" as speccy says correct?
