I noticed I have two additional 4GB modules (an 8GB package) added to my existing 16GB RAM setup. I made sure they’re placed on separate channels. The PC still shows 32GB of RAM, but why does it display 32GB instead of the actual amount? Both modules operate at the same speed.

The information is confirmed across both the task manager and system specs. I remain confident my system should not exceed 24 GB of memory.

Verify the BIOS settings. Confirm the RAM specifications match the label. Ensure all modules are correctly installed. Mixing similar sizes can cause issues. Variations in dimensions may further disrupt performance.
