Well to run 4x1GB memory on your motherboard you will need to:

 

Disable CPC in BIOS and run at 2T.

Genie BIOS settings -- Command Per Clock -- Disable

 

And

 

Enable Memory Hole.

Advance Chipset Features -- Memory Hole for PCI MMIO – Enable

 

Enable Memory Hole remaps memory and allow the system to see up too 4GB.

Hi thanks for getting back so quick Tasr, i have tried what you said but it dosn't seem to have changed anything. sould i uninstall the two new sticks and re-boot with the new BIOS settings and then re-install?

could really do with some help with this. i have done away with my overclock set Bios to defaults. re-did what was suggested but windows will not register the memory.:sad: anyone else with any ideas. thanks

Hello,

 

What does the BIOS detect?

 

And use system properties to see how much memory is available.

 

Then if you remove everything that is not required,

Use a lower gfx card 256MB if you have one.

 

And see what it shows.

 

Do you have vista x64 or x32?
