Came across an unusual (for me, anyway) discrepancy in 6.10.18.

There has always been 6GB DDR3 memory in my 980 rig, and Boinc has always reported it as such. This morning, satisfied that this relatively new build was stable, I enabled XMP mode on the memory, boosting it from 1067mhz to 1866mhz. Everything (BIOS, CPUZ, etc.) still recognizes 6GB of 1866 memory, but Boinc now says there is only 4GB physical memory.

It's more a curiosity than a problem, as there is no apparent performance degradation, but I'm wondering if this is something anyone else has encountered, and/or if it is a known "bug" .
