Problem with 4GB PC4000 and A8N32-SLI 16x

Hi there,

Just got another 2 sticks of G.Skill PC4000, booted into windows fine but it only sees 3GB? Went into bios and it tells me that 4GB is detected but only 3 is usable, any ideas please?

Many thanks.

Windows XP can't see more than 3gb, you'll need to get XP x64 to use all 4 gigabytes.

I'm using x64 and the problem is replicated in the bios! the bios can see the 4gb but says it can't use it!

Memtest is good then, it's the only thing I can suggest right now.
