Rig Specs:
Intel i7 950 CPU Processor
GIGABYTE GA-X58-USB3 LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Corsair 6 GB (3x2GB) XMS3 DDR3 1333
EVGA Geforce GTX 460
Windows 7 32-bit (Reason below)
After building this rig I checked the computer specs and it is saying that 6GB is installed but 3.5 GB is usable. I may be guessing its because of the 32-Bit.
When installing I was only able to install the 32 bit OS WIndows 7 and not the 64-bit Windows 7 and i know that the CPU and the Mobo both support 64-bit.
I'm also speculating that either its the RAM problem of the 3.5 is usable and that is not letting me install the 64 bit. (Heard that resetting the CPU fixes that problem, is that true?)
How am I able to fix this so it can read all 6 GB and install Windows 7 64 Bit?
