I have a old computer with a GIGABYTE GA-X48T-DQ6 motherboard. I used to run 2x2gb RAM sticks in it before one stopped working. So I decided to go 8gb RAM since the motherboard supports it. However when I installed my new memory which is of the same speed as the old one BIOS only detects 256mb of RAM from each stick but in windows it shows up as 8GB (1GB USABLE).
New memory is: Kingston KVR13N9S6/2 2GB 1Rx16 256M x 64-Bit PC3-10600 CL9 240-Pin DIMM
SIDE NOTE: If I use only 1 of the old sticks it shows up as 2GB which makes me wonder what can be wrong ?
Any crazy idea is welcome!
