Just as the title says, I have 2 RAM sticks, one 4gb and another 8gb. I know this isn't right because they're not paired or whatever but it worked for the last 6 months. They are both set at 1333 Mhz since that is my mother board's limit even though the 8gb has more potential. I am running Windows 8 Pro x64.

Also weird thing I've seen is when I look in task manager, in the users tab, I am using 660 mb and it says that's 42% memory. I will try taking the 4gb stick out tomorrow if I can't find a fix. Also if any of you know could this be related to unusual high disk usage?

Thank you.

Woah that's pretty tehnical, I'm kind of a noob at these kind of things so do you mind explaining how I should do such things?

Also my computer detects all the RAM apparently, just not on computer properties.
