I"m having a weird little problem with this current config.
AMD X2 5200+
ECS KN3 SLI2 nvidia590sli mobo
4gb (2x2gb dual channel kits) OCZ Platinum Rev.2 (ddr2 800)
xp pro.. sp2
Trying different combos I've found out following:
In XP pro(32bit) 2G of my ram is gone. Bios sees it, 3D Mark,Sandra, and
cpuz see it as installed properly, but Windows sees it as 2G.
Now it gets funky... I remove one stick of ram, leaving it to 3G,
single-channel mode (dual channel got disabled)... Windows now sees ~2.75G of
ram,
I'd be very happy to have even 3.6G of that 4G total
so the question becomes....
is there a way to make windows recognise/use the ram with all 4 sticks
installed.. or should i just stick with 3 sticks for more recognised ram
until i can upgrade to 64bit?
