EVGA X58 MB
I7 920

I have 3 2gig sticks in. They are seated correctly and in the correct slots but windows is only showing 2551MB of ram. Any Bios settings I need to change?

Also what settings should I change in Bios to overclock to about 3.2Ghz? I have a thermalright Ultra120 Heatsink, I think it can handle 3.2Ghz fine without getting too hot.. from what iv'e read. I just cant find what to set the settings at in Bios exactly.

What operating system are you running? If its not 64 bit then you cant use any more ram that the 2551 that it lists.

Ah I see, right theres the problem. Vista 32 Bit. was waiting for Windows 7 to come out to buy 64 bit.. since i missed the RC download..

so what about the overclock issue?
