newbie help needed

[blogmaster]

I recently got a new system, the specs are given:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090t
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 rev 2.1
G Skill Ripjaws 2x2 GB dual channel DDR3 1600MHz (PC12800) 7-8-7-24
WD Caviar Black SATA3 1TBx2
Corsair HX750
Gigabyte GTX460 1GB OC
generic USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard

I am having one problem, don't know whether it is big or small. At POST the ram is showing to be 4193280K instead of 4194304K. it just shows 4193280K, no mention of the original size in braces like i found some info on googling searches. some are saying that memory needed to be replaced, some are advising some bios setting changes. but what am i missing, are the ram modules really faulty? if not then can you please help me out with some setting changes in bios?

the memory setting portion on the bios is still Optimized Default mode, after that untouched.

I haven't yet installed any OS, afte just seeing ram size at BIOS POST screen, i did some bios research to find out the mistake, then i kept the system as it is. because I found some info at some other forum that OS has a chance to crash with this type of memory problem.

That wouldn't stop me from trying to install an OS.

If it doesn't install then the troubleshooting begins but it won't hurt anything to try.

Let us know how it goes.

ok, I will be installing windows 7, also will do memtest to see how it goes.

EDIT: memtest was successful, lets check out the windows installation.
