Found out the problem. The "NEW" dell servers have this thing call "memory mirroring". Tech support said it adds redundancy to your memory. They sent me a white paper on it but have not had the time to read it yet. So my 8gb was showing up as 4gb (mostly). After I changed the setting in the BIOS and did a reboot the rest of my RAM showed up.
This was deffinently something I have not seen before.
