I just bought a new Asus CM1745 and it comes with 2 4x gb ram sticks. One in A2 one in B2. CPU-Z is showing that there is 2 sticks installed, Bios SPD Information shows both installed, but yet only have 4096gb of total memory. And yes im on 64 bit :D Appreciate any help guys, thanks.

EDIT:: Computer came with 1/2/3/4 slots.. 1 and 3 had a 4gb stick.. I moved 3 to 2 and now it shows 8.. weird?
 
Solution
Check in CPU-Z, in the memory tab and see if it shows Dual channel - should have worked in 1-3 and should in 2-4 for Dual channel - if slot 3 isn't working may havea bad mobo or CPU
