Make sure you have it choose to look for add-on card first, there's usually an option. It shouldn't matter, but try it and see what happens. There is no mention of on-board graphics in the manual or the BIOS settings. It's my understanding that the P67 boards don't have that feature, but you get it on the H6x & Z68 series boards. No graphics connectors on the back-plane, either. In a previous response to Speedy Gonzales I mentioned that if I went into the 'Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker' page in the BIOS I could see the RAM reported as 2 x 2048 = 4096GB. The number reduces after POST starts but before Windows loads, and stays at that value when I use Aida64. It also seems curious that the reduction (16MB) is the same whether I have both or only one RAM module installed. The only other feature about the system is that sometimes - not always - there is a pause of up to 30 sec before POST starts running, but the values it reports are always the same. Since the system otherwise seems to run properly I am beginning to wonder if I am chasing shadows. I appreciate the different comments that I have had about the situation - they confirm my impression that this one of the best get-help-quick forums around.	Jayess64 (8703)

1212579	2011-06-28 01:21:00	About a month ago I rebuilt my desktop: Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3, 2x2GB DDR3 RAM. All seems to run OK, but I have noticed that the POST reports only 4080GB RAM, 16MB short. If I remove one stick at a time, POST shows 2032GB both times - once again 16MB short. I have just run Memtest from the current PCW DVD. It gets through all tests without any errors, but it reports 4079GB total memory. Do I have a problem, or is there something going on that I don't know about? :) Not poking fun.... But with 16MB missing from 4080GB!!! I wouldn't be worried (LOL).Wish I had enough $$$ to have THAT much memory in my PC! I know it should be 4080MB (4GB)...........	ManUFan (7602)

1212582	2011-06-28 01:27:00	Maybe it's just showing your total usable RAM - amount used or reserved? :waughh: Ehh.. I also wouldn't see a *Need* in complaining, unless it starts showing a rediculous amount of memory lost.. (BTW, fail uni student knowledge, just dropping in the opinions)	Empathy. (16382)
1212583	2011-06-28 03:11:00	I have the same board, it has no onboard graphics. I will be interested to see what my memory is reported as when I get home tonight.	dugimodo (138)
1212584	2011-06-28 03:26:00	If 4 x 1024 = 4096, whats 4 x 2048 meant to be (if anyone has 8 GB)?? Around 8192, or 8.3?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1212585	2011-06-28 03:35:00	I have 8Gb at home, but TBH, i have never paid much attention to the BIOS reading of memory, I see 1st digit 8xxx and think all good! Current BIOS for the gigabyte board is F4, but it makes no mention of memory status errors!	SolMiester (139)
1212586	2011-06-28 03:36:00	If 4 x 1024 = 4096, whats 4 x 2048 meant to be (if anyone has 8 GB)?? Around 8192, or 8.3? It's 8192 exactly!	Snorkbox (15764)
