More RAM than possible to built into the PC?

I know it might sound a bit weird but...


I have an MSI Hetis H61 Barebone PC and i don't know why the Task Manager and the external Third-Party Software CPU-Z (©CPUID) are telling me that I have only 2 out of 4 DDR3 Slots used, even if there are on the Motherboard only 2 slots available and no, the RAM Chips are not the Dual-Channel-Chips...


I have 2x 4GB DDR3 Single Channel @ 1333 MHz built in

2 Physical Slots and 2 Ghost Slots (Shown in Taskmgr and CPU-Z but not physically available on the MoBo)


As far as the Product Specification from MSI says:

There are only 2 RAM Slots on the Board itself, there is not even another Mainboard which could have 4 Slots because the Hetis H61 series (including H61 Ultra) are Dual-Slot-only Models...

Only MSI's Gaming Series have Quad-Slot Boards or even ones with more than 4 Slots...


My Question is:

Why shows the Task Manager some RAM Slots that aren't even there? Is that a common bug or some weird side effect of the "2004 Update" in Windows 10 Pro x64?
