Product- Notebook 15-g002ax (HP 15 notebook laptop) 64bit
OS- Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Memory shows- 3.3 GiB
amd processor, REV: 22CE-100
New ram added: Hynix HMT41GS6BFR8A-PB, 8192 MB @ 800MHz (SODIMM DDR3)
I used to have 4gb of default ram in bank0 [bank1 is non customer usable]
therefore i have bought 8gb of single ram. removed 4gb of default ram & connected new 8gb ram in bank0.
but if i check in system it only show 3.3gb of ram just like before. And if i check in BIOS it shows 8gb ram.
1. Can i utilize 8 gb of ram on my system ?
2. Should i go back to my old 4gb ram since they both are delivering same ram space?
