I've just recently installed 8MB of G.Skill DDR2-1066 (2048 x 4), P/N F2-8500CL5D into an ASUS Crosshair II Formula AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard.
The problem is that the both the BIOS and Windows only shows 6 of the 8MB installed. Any ideas whats causing this?
Note (1): The Motherboard bios has been updated and the DDR type selected in the bios "DDR1066" with all other setting on automatic.
Note (2): I'm aware of the limitations of many older Operating Systems to address memory above 3-4MB, i plan on installing a 64 bit OS once its confirmed that the memory is working.
Note (3): CPU is AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor.
