😥

2017-07-13 17:30:47 UTC  

so my BIOS is only showing a half of my total RAM.

2017-07-13 17:31:37 UTC  

I have 2x2gb ram but each stick only displays a little over 1GB

2017-07-13 17:32:06 UTC  

anyone know what this is about

2017-07-13 17:37:27 UTC  

When you say a "little over"

2017-07-13 17:37:31 UTC  

How much exactly?

2017-07-13 17:37:40 UTC  

let me check

2017-07-13 17:38:12 UTC  

1024?

2017-07-13 17:39:05 UTC  

Actually, I can't check because I was testing it today using my friend's power cord, and he took it now.

2017-07-13 17:39:12 UTC  

I do believe so

2017-07-13 17:39:16 UTC  

rip

2017-07-13 17:39:24 UTC  

How much does it say in Windows?

2017-07-13 17:39:43 UTC  

I don't have my HDD yet so I can't check that

2017-07-13 17:39:44 UTC  

if he doesn't have a powercord, how do you expect him to check in windows ?

2017-07-13 17:39:45 UTC  

😄

2017-07-13 17:39:54 UTC  

It'll come in tomorrow

2017-07-13 17:39:58 UTC  

I didn't realise he wasn't using it

2017-07-13 17:39:58 UTC  

Oops

2017-07-13 17:40:24 UTC  

is that a craptop or a desktop ?

2017-07-13 17:40:29 UTC  

Desktop

2017-07-13 17:40:53 UTC  

can you check directly the ram sticks just to be sure they are indeed 2x 2GB ?

2017-07-13 17:41:28 UTC  

The heatsink/cover plate does say do

2017-07-13 17:41:38 UTC  

I'll make a picture

2017-07-13 17:41:46 UTC  

is that compatible with your mobo ?

2017-07-13 17:41:57 UTC  

Yes

2017-07-13 17:42:10 UTC  

what chipset is your mobo just to be sure?

2017-07-13 17:42:36 UTC  

Chipset.. Can you give an example of one

2017-07-13 17:42:54 UTC  

I don't know, p67 is a pretty old one 😄

2017-07-13 17:43:06 UTC  

it's usually in the name of your motherboard

2017-07-13 17:43:14 UTC  

Ohh right

2017-07-13 17:43:46 UTC  

The board is an asus p5q

2017-07-13 17:43:54 UTC  

for example mine is a x99

2017-07-13 17:44:48 UTC  

hmm p45 chipset should be fine if you use the right DDR2 sticks with the right freq

2017-07-13 17:44:58 UTC  

DDR 2

2017-07-13 17:45:46 UTC  

can't see the freq of those, let me check the reference just to be 100% sure
