When I was playing Battlefield 4, I was lagging a ton, so I went into dxDiag to figure out what the problem was, come to find out it says I have 4gb of memory, yet I have 8gb in my computer, any solutions? I've looked up solutions but I can not find any that have worked for me. My motherboard is a Gigabyte and I my ram is a ripjaws but I can't figure out which kind, sorry. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! :)
 
Solution
Get the free app CPU-Z and see how much it shows in the memory tab, can get CPU, Mobo model and Model of the DRAM from it also (memory model can be found in the SPD tab)
