Why only 3.46GB of 8GB DDR3 (Kit of 2) It says installed RAM: 8GB (3.46 usable) I've switched ports. Using Windows 8.1 64bit. ASUS board.

Could be a lot of things, you'll need to troubleshoot this. Start by testing 1 module at a time to make sure they both show up. If they do, check the motherboard manual to make sure you have them in the correct slots. If some of the memory ports are different t colors, put them in the same color slots, not side by side... some boards require specific slots to be filled first...

Hi Daneyon, There are several different things that may be causing this issue. First thing to check is to make sure the memory is plugged into the matched pair slots. Typically that would be the matched color slots on an ASUS motherboard but it may be different for your particular board. It would be best to check your motherboard's manual to be certain. Also, try each module in the kit individually to see if it works properly alone. If one does not work properly on it's own, we can set up a warranty replacement of the memory. So we can fully troubleshoot with you and find the proper resolution, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and an available technician will be ready to help. Thank you for using HyperX memory, -Jewel @ HyperX Technical Support

DDR2 memory requires an AM2 CPU. *DDR3 and DDR2 are supported separately. **DDR3 memory is only supported by installing AM3/AM3+ CPU. ***Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows 32-bit OS. For Windows 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation. ****DDR2 memory is only supported by installing AM2/AM2+/AM3 CPU. *****Support with AM3 / AM2+ CPU. http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=Specifications

4GB included on a single stick, 2 available slots (micro iTX board, always is that way) and 16GB maximum on 2x 8GB sticks. All DDR3.

I'm going to say 16GB. It only has 2 RAM slots and 8GB sticks are the largest of what is commonly available. I have occasionally seen a few 16GB sticks, but I wouldn't count on it. So 2 slots @ 8GB = 16GB is my story, and I'm sticking to it.

The basic info for the system on this computer states "Installed memory (RAM) 4.00 GB (3.46 GB usable)"

Go to "system" and it will show the amount of RAM Memory. Mine came with 8gb.

Yeah, it's PC3-8500 DDR3. What's really nice is that you get 1GB installed and an open slot, so you can actually get a total of 3GB (or I suppose 5GB if you really wanted to overdo it). I think Windows will only use 2GB, though. BUT, what's really neat is that when you open the panel to install the RAM you have access to the hard drive, the memory AND an open PCI slot. I also believe you have access to WWAN, but I didn't get that in my 311 so I'm not sure. This is all stuff you can easily replace/add without voiding your warranty and it's really really easy.

Yes it is expandable to 8 GB in total. It comes with four GB installed when bought new and the second slot is empty which you can use to install an additional 4 GB. Make sure you use the same configuration as original which is PC 12800, 1600 Mhz DDR3 stick.

I updated a windows pc. I used the (crucial.com) ram scan service and it gave me all the info about my boardshowing how much i could upgrade with the model numbers and size of ram of i could use.ps if it don' match don't buy it

Yes, this board supports up to 64GB of DDR3 up to 2400 Mhz, (although I believe Asus recommends max of 1866) but of course, only with 64 bit system. I just finished my build of new system with this board last week and am so far very pleased with all the features it offers, particularly the UEFI bios and the accompanying AI Suite3 software that allows extensive changes to system both in bios and in Windows.

Sadly, I am not computer-savvy enough to find that information (especially as I am still getting used to Windows 8). Perhaps you could give some quick instruction on where to find ddr memory, and I can look it up on my laptop.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb 1600Mhz

There are two memory slots which can take 2@4BG or 2@8GB. It comes with one slot taken at 4GB. I added a second so now have 8BG. It was easyYou will need to get unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs

Yo I own this comp, its expandable to 8gb ddr 3 ram. I tend to like kingston but im still a noob to such things

If it comes with two sticks of ram, 1GB each, then going to 4GB would be 2 sticks of 2GB each. Should be the same power. If anything power use may decrease due to more ram available and windows not having to page stuff to the spinning mechanical (power hungry) hard disk.
