The issue is that I have a Bangho brand notebook (Argentina) that has the following mother: W130EW, manufacturer clevo (source: https://www.clevo.com.tw/clevo_down.asp?lang=en)

Its specification says that it supports 8gb but when I use the command wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices it tells me that it supports 16gb.

So what is my actual memory capacity?

  • The wmic command assumes that you have all the memory channels available along with multiple DIMMs on each channel. It is the processor maximum. Most commercial processors have 2 channels with 2 DIMMS per channel. Your motherboard manufacturer may not have wired up multiple channels or DIMM slots and if you can only fit 2 DIMMs (when the processor supports 4) then you will have half the memory capability. – Mokubai Jun 09 '22 at 19:54
  • Before all thank you for taking the time to answer Mokubai, so how could I check this: "Your Motherboard Manufacturer May Not Have Wired Up Multiple Channels or Dimm Slots and If You Can Only Fit 2 Dimms (When The Processor Supports 4) Will Have Half The Memory Capability "? From already thank you very much! – Endy S Jun 09 '22 at 20:42

I think both are right.

The manual says this :

I would take this that you have two RAM slots, where each is expendable to 8GB.

Now, 2x8GB=16GB, and this ends this mystery.
