Hello,
I don't know if anyone can help me with my problem but here it goes...
I've just built a new desktop pc. I've installed win7 64bit OS and 6GB RAM all the same make/model. My mobo is the ASUS Maximus III Gene. In the POST all 6gb RAM are shown. In the Task Manager/Resource Monitor/Memory it shows a total of 6gb installed (6144mb actually) BUT only 2gb usable (2046mb) with the remaining 4gb (4098mb) listed as "hardware reserved". What exactly does this mean??? Now I do have 2 video cards installed in SLI formation (2 x Asus ENGTS450 1gb GDDR5) but even if that were the problem, shouldn't that only require a max of 2gb of installed RAM as hardware reserved? I am currently running the most recent BIOS for my mobo (ver.2001) and have no other hardware installed except for my ASUS dvd burner.) Anyone have any ideas?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
