BigRat Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 hey I just changed my old mem to two kits of Vengince DDR3. (CMZ12GX3M3A1600c9) Mem is set, I can see it in Bios, but when I run windows its shows me in system window 24BG installed 16 GB available.... Why not all 24 available? I got Win764 Home premium and Asus Sabertooth X58 as a heart of my PC. In manual i ve found this warnigs: Due to Intel spec definition, XMP Dimms and DDR 1600 are supported for one dimm per channel only... Is this causing my troubles... or I just miss smth? HELP! :o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7 Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) has a limitation of 16 GB. If you do a Windows Anytime Upgrade (put that into the Windows 7 Search), you can upgrade to one of the higher versions which will let you use up to 192 GB. BTW, it's never recommended to mix kits.

Wired Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You are indeed mixing kits, or rather memory. The sticks of kit A weren't tested with kit B and therefore can't be guaranteed to work together, but it of course can happen. That's why they make bigger kits like CMZ24GX3M6A1600C9.
