just happened to notice i had speed read your post and ignored that question - Windows Home Premium limits the user to 16 GB of Ram - after installing the ram, i noticed no difference in task manager, it only showed 16 GB, when i went to my properties on "my computer" it showed "32 GB installed, 16 GB enabled"
Ran a bunch of utilities testing it and all 32 showed good, and all the utilities recognized all 32 GB - researched it on the web and found a number of users having discovered that windows or microsoft choose to limit the Home Premium version of win 7 to 16 GB, while Pro and Ultimate are not limited
go figure
