I have an i7-920 system that is having some strange issues with the amount of RAM that is available. Specs are:
i7-920 (OCed)
EVGA X58 3x SLI
6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 (OEM stuff)
3x Radeon HD7770
320GB HDD
running Windows 7 Professional x64. When I open up the "System" window in Control Panel, it says "6.00 GB RAM (1.99 GB Usable)". Opening up Resource Monitor ways that 4GB is "hardware reserved." Is it reserved as a buffer for the GPUs? Or is there something else at work here? Would a reinstall possibly help?
Until recently, it said that 4GB was usable, and I decided to ignore it then as 4GB was sufficient--however, 2GB is not.
