Hello, I've installed 2 sticks of 2GB = 4GB DD2 6400 800Mhz of ram and in XP its only showing that I have 3 GB and that there clocked at 400Mhz. Can someone please help me with this? Here are my specs: Quad core 2.4 GHz 6600 @ stock Gigabyte G31M-S2L 4GB Dual Channel Mushkin BFG 7900 GS 256MB

>> Re: Ram problem... Thank you for your responses. I don't have 64 bit enabled on my mobo, but if I do, will it the 4Gb's show up, or do I have to reinstall windows to 64 bit?

>> Re: Ram problem... If you don't have a 64 bit operating system, you won't be able to see all your RAM. 32 bit only supports up to 3.3GB or something like that.

>> Re: Ram problem... We had few ram sticks labeled 1gb but they were 512. Never buying from that company again. So sometimes they do mislabel their stuff. ______________________________________________ Core i7 @ 4.00Ghz \| GA-EX58-UD5 \| 6x2Gb OCZ DDR3 \| eVGA 8800GTX \| Windows 7 Ultimate RC x64
