My motherboard supports 4GB and it used to work, but now as I plug in each stick, as soon as I plug in the third I start loosing huge amounts of "efficiency" or something. If I plug in any one of the four 1GB sticks, it shows 1GB in BIOS (tested) and in windows.
If I plug in any 2, it shows 2GB. As soon as I plug in any 3rd stick, it shows as 2.75GB in BIOS, and the 4th brings it to 3.5GB in bios (only 2.75GB in windows). What should I replace, software? hardware? If the latter, RAM, motherboard? I have not run memtest 86.
