ram

I just assembled my new PC and it screams, BUT it's only recognizing 8GB of ram in BIOS and OS rather than the installed 12GB. In the BIOS the RAM was registering at 1066 so I set it to 1600MHz. I update the BIOS to the latest non-beta release.

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=wurRaDZ8lo4Ckukj

OS = Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Mobo = Asus P6X58D Premium CPU = Intel Core i7 920 RAM = CORSAIR XMS3 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 HDD = Intel 80GB SSD SATA II PS = Kingwin 1000W Modular

I've installed the Beta BIOS 0808 but no luck!

Windows 7 on a 64-bit computer

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
I read on Wikipedia that Windows 7 on a 64-bit PC needs twice as much RAM as on a 32-bit PC. I understand why is that: every number stored in memory takes 8 bytes rather than just 4. That, in simple terms, means that your amount of RAM is reduced to half when you use Windows 7 on a 64-bit computer… >>> More
