Well, I have an Abit KG7 board, and my board is picky about how I place ram.
I need to put ram in slot # 1 and 2 and if it's unbuffered, only 2 DIMMs. If
I put any ram in #3 or 4, it won't work. I suppose my advice is to try
reversing the order the ram is placed.

I assume you tried each stick of ram in #2, as you describe, separately?
