Hi
i have just made a new computer and in my os and bios the memory shows 3072 mb in total when i have 3x3gb kingston ddr3 1333mhz ram.When i remove 2 of the ram and boot it shows 1 gb ram in CPUZ and i add another one and ram shows at 2gb in CPUZ. So that shows that all 3 ram are working fine but only showing 1 gb each. How can i get 9 gb to fully show. computer is working fine.

My specs are
intel i7 920
Asus Deluxe V2 Motherboard
LG Blu Ray player
corsair 750 Watt PSU
and 3x3gb Kingston Value Ram

I have tested with CPU Z but still shows the same results and all ports are working, so i am confused why each ram stick only shows itself as 1GB

Thanks for helping

Sorry, but they do not make any 3Gb sticks of DDR3....
What you have is a 3Gb KIT made of 3x 1Gb Sticks.
Your system is working fine, you just did not have 9Gb of RAM to start off with.
