Hi All. I was wondering if someone could help me.I added 2 Gigs of Ram to my system. Which should have brought me up to 4 Gigs. However when I run dxdiag or Belarc it tells me all 4 sockets are present 1024 x 4 but the total only comes to 3304mb. I can't explain the discrepancy.Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Al

Just in case, download and run aida32 to see its value for RAM. Perhaps the other two aren't capable? If all 3 fail, however, I doubt it's an issue with the detection software.
Just for starters.

Thanks for the replies, I ran aida32 as far as I can tell all is well. The 4 ram modules are all exactly the same made by Corsair. The Graphics card is A Radeon x800 pro. It is not built into the motherboard as far as I know.
