This is what it shows..
And Windows shows this..
What does the task manager have for amount of resources?
And where'd you get your win 7?
Task manager shows 46% memory usage with just chrome open.. I got my copy of windows at Best Buy, but I don't think purchase location has anything to do with why it's only displaying 2.5gb of ram.
I think he was just questioning it to find out if you had a legal copy or not. Pirated versions are usually really iffy about stuff. (he was accusing you or anything..just like a doctor, they have to know what you've been doing in order to be accurate).
How many slots do you have on your mother board? I tried each stick 1 at a time so they obviously work. But maybe it's just the slot the second stick is in is bad.
2 slots. Haven't tried each slot separate when I last tried 1 stick at a time I was only popping it in and out of 1 slot. I'll try the other slot 1 at a time and see what the results are and repost them in a bit..
Due to the chipset's limitation, the system allocates a certain amount of memory for devices; hence, the actual memory size is less than the total size of physical memory installed.
