You running the latest bios for the system?
Probably not. I will ask them if they have a BIOS upgrade for this board.
According to dell 2GB is the max

Looks like it supports multiple memory speeds, a lot of systems can use more total memory if the memory speed is lower(most often seen this on Supermicro boards anyways)
Nate: On the Dell URL you provided above, I saw the below data. I see the 2 GB Max, but they don't show using 1 GB DIMMS. Not sure where their error is. I will try to get their Tech Support on the phone in the morning and ask about a BIOS upgrade and also if I can install two 512 MB DIMMs or two 1 GB DIMMs. Thank you! Lanny
