I'd suspect that the 2nd 1GB is faulty. Run the Vista memory diagnostic on each module separately, and then install them together and run them again. Unless the two 1GB modules are identical, it's possible that the SPD timing info on one of them is not correct. The motherboard will try to use the slower timing of the two when they are differrent. If they are identical, you get the best performance by having one in Channel A, DIMM 0 and the other in Channel B, DIMM 0 (Dual channel, interleaved mode). Also, make sure you have the most recent BIOS installed. Bob
