install a 34-bit OS
really 33.5 would do it but good luck finding that
>>
>>55098388

Boot into your bios to see how much ram it detects and go from there
>>
>>55098451
Memtest86.

hahahahahaha hello 2008
goodbye 2007 and take your shitty 32 bit OS with you, 2007 hahahahaha

Nice boot.ini problems ;)

>>55098503
>boot.ini
The fuck?
Do you use a flux capacitor as modem to shitpost here?
>>
Check msconfig.exe boot tab to see that you aren't using fucky memory settings

Also check bios to make sure you aren't reserving any for iGPU or whatever
>>
>>55098388
12 GB ram installed hahahahaha
He has installed 3 x 4GB modules. The modules need to be in pairs
obviously one module brings him down to 8GB, which his 64bit OS reports as 4GB because it requires double the amount of address space

It's dual channel so it's 2x4gb then just some random 4gb in another one

maybe kill yourself

Not OP but it clearly states single-channel.
>>
>>55098547
Are you stupid? All dual channel does is make pairs faster, it wouldn't affect the total amount of memory

Probably 1x8 + 1x4 with both in the same channel slots.

Maybe the problem lays on the mobo that cant deal with 12gb memory stick. Try also mentest86 on dos on pendrive. Try to get 8gb memory stick and see what rappens if it work properly i put my coin on your mobo cant handle 12gb single stick

Check your maxmem in msconfig.

I bet a jew broke into your house and changed it.
>>
super+r
type msconfig
boot tab
click advanced
set memory to what you have
restart
>>
>>55098388
Is the memory installed correctly? I'm going to guess no since you are running in single channel mode.

Not something OP's CPU/chipset support

>>55098658
I've always wondered what specs, as minimum, are required to achieve a >9,9 in the WE Index.
>>
>>55098529
Not GP, but Windows still uses boot.ini for advanced configuration options (such as limiting hardware RAM usage)
>>
>>55100312

It only goes up to 7.9. Considered I get a 7.9 on graphics with a GTX660, it's not that hard to achieve.

>>55098388

Weird, isnt it? :^)
>>
>>55098659
Well, then this is the problem.

>>55098388
OP, can you maybe stop being fucking retared just for one second in your life and provide info about what RAM you are using in which configuration before I get bored and leave this thread?

>>55098658
AAAHAHAHAHA HOW CAN ANYONE BE THIS FUCKING RETARDED IN 2k10+6?

Install gentoo you cuck.

I get 7.1 on integrated graphics. 7.9 everything other than graphics with a 6700k + 850. Pretty good experience coming over from a c2d.

>>55098388
Your motherboard is bottlenecked to 4GB probably, I'm guessing it's a notebook.

Sorry to disappoint

If you are using a 32bit Windows system, apply PAE patch to kernel.
