Windows doesn't see all my RAM
Hi, love this forum, been reading it for a long time.
So here's my problem. Until now i had 2gb of ram. Vista Ultimate x64 worked great. But i do a lot of work with virtual machines so i needed more. I bought 4 more gb, and i placed them next to the ones already installed. I log into windows, and it still shows me that i have only 2 gb instead of 6gb. Afterwards I took out the 2gb of ram I had, leaving only the 4. Windows boots ok, i log in.. still ony 2gb seen.
What can I do ?
My motherboard is Gigabye 965p-s3 rev3.3. On the site it says that "Dual Channel architecture support up to 8GB by 4 DIMM slots". So it should work, as i have two of 2gb each. I took out the other ram as it annoyed me.
Oh yeah, and at startup the bios tells me the correct amount of ram each time.
Thanks.
