Couloir Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I recently bought Corsair Vengeance 4 * 4gb (16) memorys. But my computer says that I can only use 8gb of the memory. Windows says it finds 16, but uses 8. The motherboard I have, Asus Turbo EVO is suppose to be able to hande the amount, so can anyone please tell me what might be wrong?

Wired Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Assuming CPU-Z and the BIOS sees all 16 GB as well, sounds like an OS issue. Home Basic (64 bit) will only use 8 GB, but Home Premium should be able to use all 16 GB.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couloir Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I got a scare there, but I got premium. Got a tip that it might be something in the msconfig, so I will look there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
