Its because windows uses some of your memory for other things.. Ie like bios, videocard ram, etc... Its fine.

Just seems a bit strange as I have access to a 2gb PC with XP and reports all the RAM. Like I say it seems to run fine! 
Well my Misery continues...... http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17618030
I think some of these boards are just destined not to work for us unlucky few...!

I've got that RAM and it just worked straight out of the box on my DQ6 with F2 bios with no settings adjusted. Hope it goes well.Mr Sniper said:

Thanks for the input, keep em comin!
Hi All
The story far
It starts at the beginning of august.
I brought a GA-965p-dq6 and corsair ddr2 twina 2 GB pc6400 and I have just built it into my machine with an Intel core2 duo e6400. It will not go to post keep stop/starting.
I e-mailed gigabyte with this problem and they advised me to use memory listed on the gigabyte website. I have sent back the corsair ddr2 twinx pc6500c5 and brought some Geil (gx22gb5300dc)x2 but even with this approved memory the computer still takes between 4 and 20 tries before it will post. Once it’s running it’s OK.
as I have seen on a lot of you guys on oc forums with ds3/4s are having the same problem. I have updated the bios with f3c from a link on this forum but it made no difference I like gigabyte and would like to keep it but not if it dos not work..
I have now sent back the Geil (gx22gb5300dc) x2 and I have Geil PC6400 800Hz ultra low latency (GX22GB6400UDC) because someone here said there’s worked but mine dos not.
I have tried this mobo on the bench with just a CPU Memory and Graphics card
With different PSU and or Graphics card.

RMAed the mobo yesterday I got an e-mail today No Fault found so it cost me £18.50 to send it back and £23 No Fault fee and still no working computer.
This mobo is a nightmare

what was your settings in bios
A lot of the problems people has is incorrect biosettings

IMO, if the mobo wasn't tested with the items you are trying to run then they cannot really prove that it works, I have had the same response from the tech dept just saying it works, but hen I asked them what they tested it with they couldn't tell me!jmart1uk said:RMAed the mobo yesterday I got an e-mail today No Fault found so it cost me £18.50 to send it back and £23 No Fault fee and still no working computer.

Don't forget to get them to test it with the different ram you've had as well!jmart1uk said:

Just built my machine around the e6400 and Geil PC6400 Ultra RAM. It all works great but as soon as I try to enter the RAM timings manually into the BIOs the PC wont boot. I change it back to auto and it then boots fine. Running the F3 BIOS as well.

Cant you see it yourself?
Back on thread; My parts have just arived today. I assembled everything, put the mobo in the case, connecting stuff blablabha. Booted with 1 stick in, 1hdd, all power cables in. Booted fine for the first time. Shutdown, Put the rest into it.
'till now its in my opinion a great board! I'll make a thread about it later. Its formatting my hdds now.
