Thanks for that Mark.
The board acually only has 3 DIMM slots. Each slot will take
1GB maximum of RAM.
I do understand what you are saying about matching DIMM's
in pairs on a 4 slot board.
Main reasons for choosing this board was:
a) price
b) 5 PCI slots - so plenty of room for adding other stuff.
Kind Regards,
