Good afternoon! I had a quick question concerning RAM on Windows 10.
I recently upgraded my RAM from 8 Gb to 32 Gb cuz why the hell not. My Mobo is recognizing that 32 Gb is installed, but in the System settings, under About, it tells me this:
Installed RAM - 32 Gb (15.9 Gb Usable)
I'm wondering why I can only use half my RAM? XMP is enabled, the RAM works with XMP, and I've gone through msconfig and set the max memory to 32 Gb.
My system specs are as follows:
Mobo: ASRock A320M-HDV (Soon to be upgraded to B450M Steel Legend)
CPU: Ryzen 3 2300X (Soon to be upgraded to Ryzen 5 5600X)
RAM: G Skills Ripjaw V 16 Gb x 2
I know that there are some processors - namely older ones - that for one reason or another can't work with higher amounts of RAM. I'm guessing this is one of them?
