A rather odd issue happened to my system. I just noticed that it lost half its memory!
I have two sticks of 2GB running in dual channel. They have worked fine and I've always had a total of 4GB memory.
Lately the system has been running slow. I was convinced it was just in need of a reformat.
Out of luck, I happened to notice the RAM count in the System panel. To my surprise it said 2.0 GB !
So low and behold, after testing with a couple of other sticks my roomates had lying around, my two sticks have reduced themselves to 1 GB each.
The weird thing is that my system has had good stability and the RAM is still running in dual channel mode.
So anyways, my question: is this RAM fuxored? Or is there a way I can "wake up" each of the sticks to remember their full capacity?
The RAM is Kingston HyperX DDR2 8500.
