Ok, all is well in Ramland............I reset the sticks into 2 and 4 and
they are now running in dual mode. I did set the ram to auto in CMOS and all
is okay that way. I didn't clear CMOS, but am still thinking maybe nmot such
a bad idea, BUT I will just end up setting it all back again to where it is
now. This wouldn't make a difference resetting then booting with the new ram
under a reset cmos with everything as it was before?!?!
