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

alanh,
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.

You could have a shared video memory enabled ... have you got a graphics card built in your motherboard?

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.
