memory page amount of memory reported seems incorrect

[Hofs]

Hi, I have 2x4 GB DDR3 SDRAM memory in my system.
The Total Physical Memory is reported as : 6120MB

So 4.000.000.000/1024 = 3906250 * 2 = 7812500 = 7812MB (or 7813MB

If I place only 1 x 4GB memory, it reports this 3973MB ?? (too much ??)

What is now correct ?

rgds,

Maybe one of your sticks is actually 2GB?

Where are you reading these numbers from?

A screendump of the memory report is given

The screenshot is what the memory analysis menu gives.
I will check the actual dimms labels and let you know.

You posted 3 screens shots of the first RAM stick, but no details on the second stick.

Problem solved. It appears the second is a 2GB sdram as david assumed. So 6Gb is correct.
The bios does not show any info about shared memory for a graphics card so that would also leave some missing ram "explained".

Thx all for the feedback and suggestions. rgds Hofs.

In a dual channel memory motherboard, you should only use a dual channel kit eg 2x4gb. 2 separate sticks quite often cause problems.
