My motherboard has 2 ram slots . Why does CPU-Z and Speccy show that I have 4 slots ?


Gigabyte GA G41 MT S2P



Answer



According to CPU-Z's documentation, the information it gathers from the motherboard is the following:



  • Vendor, model and revision.

  • BIOS model and date.

  • Chipset (northbridge and southbridge) and sensor.

  • Graphic interface.


CPU-Z shows 4 RAM slots since your motherboard's northbridge (Intel G41 Express Chipset) can handle up to 4 RAM modules.


The fact that Gigabyte decided to install only 2 RAM slots on this specific motherboard is simply not taken into account.
