Ram vs virtual

[asieg33]

Hello,
I have an asus p6t with 12 gigs corsair ram.
cpuz shows all 12 gigs
everything else (sysinfo..) shows 4 gig ram and 8 gig virtual.
Is this equivalent to the 12 gigs
what am I losing?
can't return the motherboard
thank you

You should never post your e-mail address unless you are a glutton for punishment (spam).

What operating system are you using? 32-bit or 64-bit Windows?

using 64 bit
running memtest now which seems to show 4 gig ram
but memory spd shows all sockets (6) filled with 2 gig corsair

Yes remove your email address; web crawlers and crazy people.

Post the following:
1. BIOS version ; probably not an issue
2. ALL RAM Part-Numbers / Links are preferred
3. Reseat the RAM in the DIMMS ; I assume the Tri Channel KITS were kept together and NOT mixed.
4. Verify the following:

5. Post the following:

You can use CPUz to identify the RAM Part-Numbers {SPD tab} http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
