- Your answer above was not clear: did the 4GB work by itself without
the other 2GB? If so, the above is your problem. If not, you're in deeper guano that you think, BUT:
The 4GB had the same problem with and without the 2GB.
ok, then you have the wrong 4GB (2x2GB?) sticks. You might review the memory specs for your motherboard, not all DDR2 is the same. http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d975xbx/sb/CS-026567.htm
specifically, you need 1.8-1.9V DDR2 unbuffered DIMMs, requires SPD, 667 and 533Mhz. 2GB dimms must be organized as 8 128Mx8 dimms on each side.
personally, I'd pick my ram from this page http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=D975XBX
the stuff you buy through their guaranteed compatability program WILL work.
