Another thing is that the Intel i815e chipset can only recognise four
"lines" of ram, ie you could have four single sided ram sticks, two double
sided - not sure about uneven, ie one double, two single.. :)

btw, what I mean by single side is there's (I think) eight chips on one side
of the ram stick, double side = eight chips on *both* sides.

This is a documented "feature".. :)

Could be why your third stick isn't being recognised.

hth,
