" rel="nofollow - Hi all, So i got me a nice ASROCK mainboard, in a bundle with an AMD 3,8 CPU. All good, PC running with Windows 7 Premium (64Bit) in a well aired case. Want to use it to render 3D which requires a good graphiccard (got that) and a lot RAM. And here i get to my "problem", rather say question: System(Windows) is recognising 32GB RAM installed but tells me only 16GB are usable. Installed RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 4x8GB Had other/smaller RAM in bank 3 and 4 before and it showed the same effect. What am i doing wrong? |

Oh, no wonder i can't get it to use all installed RAM. Thanks a lot for this info !  Don't feel that stupid anymore.  Will purchase Windows 8 then, somewhere. |
