Hi,
Im a newbee and i just assembled my system based on Gigabyte GA 965 DS3. I used 2 X 1 Gb Kingston DDRII ram at 667 Mhz (KVR667D2N5/1G) in slots 1 and 3. System is stable and works fine. The BIOS screen detects the RAM as 2048 Mb and a quick properties check in windows (my computer) reaveals the Memory at 2 Gb and the Windows Task pane gives the same information. But the problem is that when i check the windows system information utility, it gives the following:
Total Physical Memory: 1024.00 Mb
Available physical memory: 1.35 GB Also the 3D mark 06 gives the following info about memory:
Memory Info
Total Physical Memory 1.98 GB
Free Physical Memory 1.34 GB Memory Slot 1/4
Installed Enabled Size 512 MB Form Factor DIMM

Im really confused and would appreciate if someone could help me out in this regard. Does it mean that my system is treating the 2 Gb memory as 1 Gb? I hope its not like that or maybe im missing on something.
