I recently built a new computer with Windows Vista installed with 1GB of RAM installed in dual channel.
I have two problems:
1) When I check the systems specs in Vista, it says that there is only 896MB of RAM installed.
2) The system isn't recognizing the dual channel configuration.
I used CPU-Z to see if there were any inconsistencies and found that it does recognize 1GB of RAM, but it doesn't recognize the dual-channel memory. What's going on? Do I have a bad batch of RAM sticks. I've also noticed that over the past few weeks, the performance has been lagging, with spurts of speed. I'm guessing that there is a problem with RAM and timings? Please help.
System specs:
Biostar 6100-M9 mobo
Athlon 64 3200+
1GB (2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 Kingston Value RAM)
250GB WD SATA HDD
Onboard Geforce 6100
Soundblaster Audigy 4
Lite-On Multi Burner
Windows Vista Home Premium
