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.

im not sure but maybe the problem is there because its a release candidate

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

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?
