It looks like it sees 6GB of RAM. By Resource Manager I meant the one accessed by either going through the Program Manager or doing a find in Win7 for Resource Monitor.

Hmm thats odd. Windows can only detect 4GB while CPU-Z detects all 6GB. I would go into your BIOs and see how much the motherboard detects. It could be possible that dual channel support is active and not triple channel support.
