Memory installed 4 x 1GB = 4GB But Only 2876GB on POST
I have an Asus P4P800 SE MB, where I had 4 x 512KB installed. On POST RAM Check it showed the proper total of 2048GB. I just replaced the 4 available banks of 512KB to 1GB each which should now total 4GB. However on the POST RAM check, it only runs to a total of 2,876GB instead of the 4GB.
I ran the Windows 7 Memory Tool on the Dual Boot screen, running 2 passes with no errors. On my Belarc and CPU-Z applications, it shows the 4 banks of 1GB each, however again the total memory on these is only 2876GB.
The MB manual states that with full 4GB of ram loaded I will only get 3.5GB of ram, however not only 2.876GB.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, with AMI BIOS, just upgraded to it's latest version 1011. Can anyone advise what might be wrong, or any setting I have missed that would open up the balance of total RAM?
