Odd Ram Amount Displayed
Hey all,Just installed the RC 32bit versionand running great but in the system properties it seems to think I have 24gigs of RAM installed..... I wish I had a system like that but I really only have 3. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems but seems to be an odd problem I can't seem to figure out why. Anyone have any ideas? I'm assuming somewhere along the lines my motherboard is reporting values in some odd way. Never seemed to be a problem in XP or Vista though.Rig:Athlon X2 3800+Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 v13GB Ram (2X1GB, 2X512) in dual channelAdam Lamont

Noticed I was behind in BIOS versions significatly (3 years and about 5 or 6 updates) so I loaded the new version. It seems to be reporting it correctly now. Thats what you get for using outdated BIOS versions I guess.
