Hello, my instruction manual for my motherboard (990fxa-gd80) showed that I should have my RAM in slots 1 and 3, or 2 and 4 (color coded clips)
Well when I do that, my system info shows 8GB installed, but only 4 available. The other 4 is "reserved"
I eventually switched the RAM sticks to slots 1 and 2, which I thought would result in just 4GB of RAM being read.
But now it seems my computer has all 8 GB for use, with only 56MB reserved. Is this bad to have both RAM sticks directly next to each other? or is it normal?
