if I may inquire, who's the manufacturer for the mobo?
I have an Asus (and, more specifically, one with the ALiMaGik 1 chipset...no I didn't nameit that, and yes...I'm pretty sure it should be caps'ed like that)

anyway, my board is so incredibly finiky with memory it isn't even funny...for one, most crucial memory just plain does not work in it. For two, no ECC memory will work in it...at all.

Admittedly, from the sounds of it, there's something else wrong...but considering how much tsurus my board gave me, I figured I'd pass the info n, in hopes of preventing author-explosion...
