Hey Guys,
I just built a machine to run ESXi v5.1 on. Built the machine and did a fresh install of ESXi v5.1.
Anyway, I am having a problem with ESXi not recognizing the maximum ram I have on my system.
I have 16 (2x8gb) Gigs of Physical Ram/Memory, and even the bios sees it as 16 Gigs, but when ESXi loads up it only sees 7.5GB and now I am at loss as to what is happening. I know that even the free version supports up to 32gigs physical so that shouldn't be the problem. And i doubt the mobo/bios would be the problem since they also recognize the max ram I have currently installed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
