My installed RAM is reading lower than said value

by 50brainsurgeon . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

I recently purchased four 1GB sticks of RAM for my computer. Having done my research on my motherboard and the RAM I was purchasing, I knew all the hardware pieces were compatible with each other.

However, After I successfully installed the RAM on my motherboard and started my computer, it read that it only had 3.12 GB of RAM instead of the 4 GB I was hoping to see.

Did something go wrong? Could I have possibly installed the sticks of RAM incorrectly? Could one of the sticks be faulty?
Someone please help me!!

NOTE: The makers of the RAM I installed is Kingston, if that has anything to do with my RAM problem.
