ram problems.

I have just bought 4 gig ram, so I have 8 gig in my computer right now.
But it only uses 3,99 gig of it. how can I fix that?
I use windows 7 64x
and uses asus formula III motherboard

what can I do?

Which III motherboard? I see a Maximus III Formula, Crosshair III Formula, Rampage III Formula....

Very interesting. All three of those MoBos support at least 16GB.

Do you have the Model and Speed of all the sticks of RAM?

You can also try checking the max mem setting in msconfig, if it is set that could also be the problem.

start->type msconfig in the text box at the bottom->click on the boot tab->click advanced options->uncheck maximum memory->click ok->click the make permanent check box->click yes at the prompt (it says it can't be undone but you can manually set it back using the same process)->click restart to reboot
