Thanks for replying, but you have a few things wrong.  First off, no one has 12GB or RAM, you have 2^n amount, not just even numbers. 

Ummmm, some people do have 12 GB, or 6 GB. 

It's not common, but it does happen.

It is common due to bad setups. They need to be tied in with the cpu thus the address should be 2^n (base 2). Laptops just throw in more becauase bigger numbers sell to consumers who don't know much.
