    hi, im new here not sure where to post this.. but i have purchased the asus g73 laptop via ebay. it is the bestbuy version. i believe the bios version is 205. ok straight to the problem, i checked the ram via system information, dxdiag. they both say 2gb of ram. BUT when i check cpuz it says i have THREE slots filled 2gb eacb stick so three sticks in total. i also opened the bottom of the laptop and i see two 2gb sticks and third slot empty. the fourth slot has the third 2gb stick. so in total 6gb but it does not show in the info of my laptop... please help me out. am i in need to do a bios update? i also freeze when pressing fn+esc.
