Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Boosting payments.
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
MMO-Champion
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ
On my system it says only 4.00 gb is installed.
I switched slots and it still said 4 gb.
Is it my board or ram? Is that board compatable with the ram?
Thanks for the help!

Should see 6GB, unless you're running 32bit Windows.
Assuming you're running 64bit OS or seeing the 4.00GB in BIOS, it's possible one of the three RAM sticks is physically dead and will not show up no matter where you put it. Diagnosing completely broken RAM stick is easy by inserting just one and trying to boot the computer, and repeat that for all three sticks.Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.

Motherboard definetly supports DDR3, i would suggest trying the same that vesseblah suggested, test them 1 at the time.
Might be a faulty memory, but that is pretty uncommon
EDIT: Check your Windows, there are 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 aswell.

Sounds like an OS issue. You need 64 bit OS to use more then 4 gigs ram. Check that first before going to the trouble of moving sticks around.

Win 7 comes in both 32 and 64 bit. Open up Control Panel, System and Security, System and see what it says there. Down where it has your system rating it will say if it is 64 bit or not.

When your computer boots up, what does it say how much RAM it has? It should say something like 6144MB OK

OS issue sounds like the most likely to me, bear in mind that the most common home operating systems are 32bit, generally unless you buy one of the packs that has both you have to specify a 64bit operating system as 64bit is still pretty much the domain of professionals, techies and gamers.
