Most boards running in 32 bit mode that attempt to run all four RAM slots
run into timing instability. The recommended way to get 2 GB of memory in
such a case is to run 2 x 1GB sticks. Or switch to 64 bit OS.

Well I tried the 2 x 1GB sticks and memtest checks them as OK, but
boot to the operating system and video errors start. Streaks across
the screen. then screen junping. I tell you I have had it with this
board. The video card runs solid in other machines. Any one have a
suggestion on a ASUS intel MB thats running solid with 1 GB sticks in
two or four slots. Oh, bye the way, with the 2 GB memory ,(1 GB sticks
in two slots) no settings or combination of settings available in the
BIOS had any effect on the stability of the system. Any way, thanks to
all hands that offered suggestions and recommendations, Appreciate it.
