It looks like it's not a memory problem, but OCZ does have a lifetime warranty on memory. They don't manufacture memory anymore, so they usually try to push an SSD on you as a replacement now, though.

you can check your total available memory with dxdiag.

(just type dxdiag into the start bar)

i'm absolutely sure they are all 64x. the only computers i have running 32 bit are the main htpc with xp and a couple of laptops.

weird thing is though that it is reporting different amounts on different computers. maybe i'll switch out a harddrive and do a fresh win7 install and see what it says.

i figured it out.

i had checked the "maximum memory" box in the msconfig - boot tab - advanced window and it was limiting the amount of usable ram i had available. all fixed now.
