OK #linux heads... is there a reason installing another 16GB stick of RAM would show in terminal, but OS About wouldn't update? Am I missing something? Rebooted and shut completely down. BIOS registers the full 32GB as well.
@themrallen no idea, but whatever the DE says about the RAM shouldn't affect the system at all. If the OS itself recognizes the RAM (which seems the case here) then you're good to go.
You can also try using htop or a similar tool to see the system processes and see how much available RAM says it has, just to triple check.
