Corsair Ram 12Gb Installed (8.00Gb usable)

Just curious as to why this would occur on a 64 bit version? if anyone can enlighten me I would greatly apreciate it.

Might want to check you BIOS settings for max memory and max cpu. they should be unchecked.

Did you upgrade your BIOS as I suggested?

The latest BIOS has a memory compatibility fix.

In MSConfig, under the Boot tab, if you click "Advanced options", "Maximum memory" should be unchecked - is that the case?

I don't think it's a hardware problem as such if Windows can see there's 12GB, which apparently it does, but elects to use only 8GB.

Edit: I am assuming that's the message in the System window and that the BIOS reports 12GB, or did the BIOS only report 8GB, in which case it is a hardware configuration problem?
