I have the Intel DP965LT motherboard with Celeron D CPU at 3GHz.
This motherboard has 4 empty memory slots:
Channel A, DIMM 0
Channel A, DIMM 1
Channel B, DIMM 0
Channel B, DIMM 1

If I have 1GB at Channel A, DIMM 0, I can run both XP and Vista fine.

I am unable to run XP at 2GB stable.
Best test is to run the defragmenter.
I will get the blue screen and operating system crashed.

I can run Vista at 2GB stable only when I have:
Channel A, DIMM 0 has 1GB
Channel B, DIMM 0 has 1GB.

I am unable to run Vista at 2GB when I have:
Channel A, DIMM 0 has 1GB
Channel A, DIMM 1 has 1GB.
I run the defragmenter and Vista will crash.

Is this what you folks found too?
