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, kenco. "Cmdr.
