Abit K9N SLI not seeing all my ram...

[RatBurger08]

Hello

Just finished building my system, and here's the damage. I have 4 ram slots, and each slot has 1gb installed. The motherboard manual says it supports up to 8GB, so I'm thinking it should see all 4. The ram is all PNY PC6400 matched sticks.

Any thoughts?

If you're running Windows XP or Vista as 32bit, you can only use 2.5 - 3.2GB, depending on the board.

Damnit.. Guess I'm going over to Vista 64-bit then. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, good luck with that. Half your applications won't work, and your drivers are going to be hilariously MIA.
