Tiny discrepancies from the bios reading calculation vs software calculations I think. Nothing to worry about imo, it's only a difference of 16 (negligible)

I don't know if this is an issue or not.

I have 16GB of RAM installed (2x8GB). In DXdiag it says I have 16,384 MB (8192 x 2), but on the MAIN tab in the BIOS it says I have 16,368GB of RAM?

only a difference of 16?

This.

It's probably V-mem (Virtual memory, such as the kind used with Hyper-V).

It isn't. I rarely change anything on my comp. The only thing I can think that would cause the BIOS to read the installed RAM incorrectly is... bad ram, maybe a dirty RAM slot.
We did have a power failure a day or two before I noticed the discrepancy.

I have another set of the exact same RAM being RMA'd as we speak. When that ariives I'll stick it in the motherboard and see what's what.
