    I have this:

    Asus M2N68-VM (American Megatrends v02.61 BIOS)
    Phenom I 8450
    HIS HD4850
    OCZ DDR2-800 2x2GB
    WD 2X500GB

    Was dusting out the thing just now, dismantled everything and put it all back together. In the process, I think one of the sticks was dropped (about three inches) and now the BIOS reports less OK ram (3968MB) compared to total (4096MB). I've never paid much attention to it before but just to double check, are both values supposed to be the same? Apart from that, everything still works fine.

    In addition, on one occasion only, a "DQS training failed, reverting to lower speed" error was encountered with one stick installed.

    Is there something wrong? Memory is supposedly under lifetime warranty so I can call the shop and ask if that's the case.

    Guys, would appreciate a little advice here. :)

    Edit-
    Under System Information > Hardware Resources > Memory, all values are listed as OK.

    Cheerio,
    Nicholas.

    Guys? Is this issue that bizarre that not a single person knows what's going on? At present I have a malfunctioning program and would like to be sure memory's not the cause.

    Cheerio,
    Nicholas.
