Corsair Vs450 (orange)
samsung 240gb 860evo sata
2x4gb DDR4 2400 Adata PC4 19200

Question-
kind of a noob question but it is 8gb and shows only 5.95 as usable in 'My computer' settings
i know 8gb is not 8gb its always less but is it really this less? or i just paired wrong Rams? or motherboard or CPU is not compatible with the ram.

P.S-
-ram stick came in individual packs so no it wasnt a pack of two sticks.back then ram costed Kidneys and i didnt know Ram and rest of the components compatibility is a thing.
-system is running fine, so are games, i am getting similar FPS as they are in youtube 2200g videos..
