I placed a single 8GB stick on my PC, but I'm unsure if it was installed properly. Only 6GB appears in the memory list—why? How can I access the full capacity?

Some components can consume significant memory. On Intel systems, the integrated graphics unit may use up to 2GB of RAM.

Your system uses an AMD Ryzen 2200G processor. There isn't an equivalent to Intel's IGPU, but AMD offers similar graphics capabilities through its Radeon RX series cards and integrated graphics options.

The letter 'g' at the end of your CPU name indicates a GPU is present inside. It operates using system memory as well. It's unclear exactly how AMD sets this up, but it seems different from Intel's approach where the GPU is removed from the top. Your memory suggests it's not listed separately, while Intel lists system memory minus the GPU usage.

The 2200g is utilizing 2GB of RAM since IGPs lack their own.

You're welcome! I saw what you said and confirmed it. The graphics card is utilizing two gigabytes of RAM from your eight-gigabyte system since no additional card was added. Thanks for the clarification!
