    Do you have CPU-Z? If not, download it (either the installer or portable), and post screenshots of the Memory and SPD tabs. It's quite possible you motherboard is running the Ram at 1066MHz natively, and that the timings are wrong. Does the system show 4GB Ram available?
    Yes I do. And the system does show 4gb of RAM.




    According to your CPUZ tabs you only have one RAM card. This will be in single channel mode, which will be slower and therefore lower WEI score.

    You must have at least two RAM cards to be in Dual channel mode, which gives you two channels for the RAM to access twice the volume and will be faster.

    I see.

    I'll buy another card if I find a cheap one. 6GB doesn't sound bad. :)

    Kicksilver,

    Really you want to find out exactly what make/model your 1 stick of ram is. I believe some sticks cannot run in dual channel mode.

    To be certain of good performance ideally you want to buy a set of dual channel ram.

    Cheers

    Yes you should get a kit. Those have matched modules so it's guaranteed that they work together. Both of my kits are Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4G. Notice the difference in naming: K2.

    Not guaranteed. It could work or not.

    If not, then you would still get 8GB of ram working but without dual channel mode.

    Is that even necessary?

    These 4GB are working fine for me so far. Playing Crysis and etc.
