Hi,
I have an oldish athlon 64 on an Asus M2V motherboard and have just upgraded to 4GB (2x2GB) at 800mhz.
For some reason, the BIOS and W7 says that there is only 3.25Gb although windows does say "4GB (3.25GB usable)". The manual and "Tech Specs" on Asus' website says that it can support up to 8GB so I don't understand why it isn't recognising it. Any ideas?
Also, it is Win7 64bit Pro.
Another also, the pc sometimes doesn't POST when restarting and just sits there with all the fans spinning, but after a few tries it POSTs and goes into w7 with no trouble. I did memtest on the ram and it errored with both sticks in one way but not the other and so I currently have them in the way that they are working.
Thanks for your time
