Whilst playing around this weekend I decided to try a bit of an experiment.
Removing the i-RAM card, I populated my motherboard with the 4x1GB sticks...just to see what Windows would be like.
Oddly, the BIOS would only recognize three gigs.
The board would not even POST with only three sticks installed however.
Put in the fourth and booting would proceed as normal despite the incorrect inventory provided by BIOS.
I Memtested all four sticks and (no surprise) they all passed.
DFI clearly states that the board will support 4GB.
BIOS steadfastly refuses to actually see 4 GB though.
Odd, don't you think?
