RAM "error"

by spiROZE • 1 Feb 2011, 18:17 • Journals
hmm I have got "Memory: Corsair 1333Mhz 3x2GB" but I just right clicked on "my computer" -> properties and I saw this:

Someone has any idea why my pc says it has 4GB when it should be 6GB?

grtz

edit: just to make sure, in the past it said 6GB ;-)

but yeah I'll probably open up my pc and check if they are "clicked" in :). I'm not that noobish to not be able to do that :p

but it's still weird cause my pc has never been moved

not many motherboards support Tri-Channel RAM .. So the 4gb ram might be as efficient/fast as the 6gb until u get 8gb :P

first thing is check theyre properly inserted into the mobo with clips down - if it said 6gb before they should be in the right channels at least

second thing to use a slightly more powerful software to check your hardware :D maybe speccy can help you identify which dimm isnt being detected there

You sure your motherboard can handle more then 4gb?

Edit, saw the edit :D:D:D:D Well, it can be broken ofc, try putting them all in a different order.
