Re: Kudos to whoever gets this one... Stumped ... memory Problems!
It is an incompatibility problem with the particular board, I have the same board with crucial RAM and came across the same problem. Test each stick on it's own in any of the slots and it works fine but it is very fuss about which stick you put in which slot, even if they are apparently identicle slots. I tried the same configuration on my nforce2 dfi board and it didn't complain at all, no matter which stick went in which slot. It's just that Abit board, may just have to put up with it or upgrade!
Some nforce2 boards (like my DFI one and some Gigabytes) will still run in dual channel mode with 3 sticks. I assume that they split the 3rd stick into 2 somehow. Benchmarking confirms that this isn't just a BIOS glitch.
