I have 3GB of RAM installed but the system only reports 2814MB

Posted: 01-11-2008, 03:30 AM
3GB RAM on Vista 32-bit Home Premium and system info is only reporting
2814MB. The motherboard bios is recognizing all 3GB and the memory has tested
fine when only 1GB or 2GB is installed on it's own. The memory is all the
same - Corsair - same product line and everything. Vista OS is up to date and
I am using the latest bios for my motherboard. I will paste the system specs
here.... (Any idea what could be going on here?)
