16GB of RAM detected instead of 24GB
Hey guys,
Windows 7 is only detecting 16GB out of 24GB in my system - any ideas?
Windows 7 Home Premium
Asus Rampage III Extreme
Intel Core i7 x 990
6 x 4 GB RAM Corsair Vengeance
2 x nVidia GTX 570 SLI
Thanks!

Hi tenekox,
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit has the limitation that it can only address 16GB of RAM. If you would like to utilize more memory than that, you'll need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate. Tom Overton

Hi Tom,
Question I have is...given that tenekox has 6 x 4GB RAM, will he be running 3 sticks on triple-channel and 1 stick on single-channel, if he continues to run Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (assuming the other 2 sticks are redundant)? Or will the system run
4 sticks on dual-channel?
Thanks.
