I run a dual athlon system with 2 GB, and it has never done anything like that.
Have you run memtest86 on your system to verify it isn't a physical memory problem?
Are you using registered RAM chips? I seem to remember from my motherboard documentation that registered is required to use more than 2 memory slots. -- Zan Lynx <zlynx@acm.org> [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
