emaf Posted May 4, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 4, 2013 i have 8gb recognized (and working i guess... but i don't know how to fill them up) Your board is probably reserving some ammount of ram for the graphics. Could it be that you have 1gb vram in your BIOS??? EDIT: sorry, i missreaded, you have 8gb.... then it has to be that you are loading a 32bit kernel without PAE... but i dont see how is this possible...

HENRY17 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted May 5, 2013 the mb bios has set "512MB" RAM to onboard display function oh,DSM is 32bit OS/kernal? if the os is 32bit only,i think my system only install 1 pcs of 4G RAM is more valueable thank you for your reply. but the 3202 boot image req a 64bit cpu to boot.so i'm not sure that image is 32 bit or 64 bit.

emaf Posted May 5, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 5, 2013 wait for someone more experienced to assist... i don't see a reason for your board only showing 3gb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie82544 Posted May 5, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 5, 2013 The largest memory support based on the NorthBridge chipset or CPU (new CPU had include NB). I can use 16GB memory capacity on Intel Z68 and Z77 platforms with Xeon E3 V2 CPU. All the boot kernel for DSM had update to x64 after DSM 2.3 build 1167. Maybe you need to update your MB BIOS to the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XoN Posted May 6, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 6, 2013 I have 2x4GB modules on my N40L and all memory is recognized and used by xpenology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnapps Posted May 21, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 21, 2013 I have 2 x 8GB and it's a bit overkill, but i had this since i was using FreeNAS. Apparently DSM 4.2 build 3202 doesn't need more than 2GB. Maybe i'm talking bullshit but this is what i saw on my xpe box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunhoo Posted May 28, 2013 Share #8 Posted May 28, 2013 I have Asus E350m1i with 2x4GB RAM and updated the latest BIOS. But I only have 3GB ram show in my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnapps Posted May 28, 2013 Share #9 Posted May 28, 2013 That's because you are using the x86 (32bit) DSM and not the x86_64 (64bit) DSM i am for example using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqpr Posted May 28, 2013 Share #13 Posted May 28, 2013 All versions are 64bits ! The only one which is available in x86_32 is this one : http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone can help me to solve my ASUS E350 3GB RAM(installed 2x4GB) problem! 4 drives in JBOD (nothing important, so... I need the space ), apps I usually run inlude VPS Server, LDAP server, Mail Server, Transmission with Sickbeard, Couchpotato and Headphones, and sometimes a little Minecraft (with everything unnecessary disabled of course). Based on what you say, I could easily go with even 512MB then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are not a speed demons, but still work. Let's not talk about speed, I have to use the onboard LAN (100Mbit) and an extra card (again 100Mbit) bonded to have enough speed to play 1080p files directly from CIFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnapps Posted May 29, 2013 Share #21 Posted May 29, 2013 For DSM 4.2 3202 3 gigs is overkill. My system never used more than 4% from a total of 16GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBay Posted May 29, 2013 Share #22 Posted May 29, 2013 I have 32gb ECC on the one box im testing, works fine with 4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBay Posted June 2, 2013 Share #23 Posted June 2, 2013 Ok this is odd, My SuperMicro SuperServer Intel Xeon 1230v2 shows 32gb ECC Ram in DSM 4.2, but my AMD Asus M5A97 LE 2.0 (970 Chipset) FX-6300 shows 4gb when there is 8gb ECC ram?? Is this an AMD memory addressing issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrecar Posted June 19, 2013 Share #24 Posted June 19, 2013 Asus C60m1-I with 16 gigs of ram. Only 3 gigs reported under DSM, 16 in bios. Wierd thing is, 3211 shows only 5 drives instead of 6, but showing the full 16gigs of ram. DS3612xs_3202-Repack How is this solved BTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
