The DMI decode says you have 4 DIMM slots, it says max module size is 4 gigs, and max mem size is 16 gigs. 4 x 4 = 16. If you have a 4 gig DIMM, try it and see if it works, in any one of the slots. Sometime the manuals/published-specs are behind some upgrade to the motherboard, or just plain wrong. Also, sometimes the DMI decode data is wrong, as it's just decoding the information provided by the manufacturer, in the board, which may be wrong. You can see all sorts of examples of bad use of provided data, on some machines, when you see things like it reporting serial numbers of 1234567890, or CPU clock speeds that don't work. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
