Hello, thank you for everyone's response. Still no luck. I have the latest
firmware, and bios picks up both sticks, but Vista sees 3 GB. I can't use
the PAE switch because OS doesn't load if ram if not 4 GB. Any other ideas
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone, hopefully someone can help me out. I have a 64 bit processor with 64 bit hardware with 4 gb ddr2 ram installed on my desktop. I tried to install the Windows 2008 SBS, and I cannot get past the ram requirements. It says it needs 4 gb, but I have 4 gb in it already. The BIOS is detecting all 4 gb, and when I boot up Vista, it detects the 3 GB as do most systems. Any ideas. Thank you in advance.



New motherboard. :-(
