No I do not, as I was under the impression it's not required unless
you have at least 4gb (sorry for the poor formatting, copying from
putty/terminal to a text box doesn't format very well):

All 3 memory sticks appear fine. The motherboard is an A7N8X Deluxe,
my main PC has an A7N8X-E Deluxe; both of them are capable of using
3gb of memory, 1gb per stick (3 slots for memory). The 2 x 256 mb
sticks came from my main PC which I upgraded with 2 x 512mb sticks.
The 512mb stick has been in use by the server for 4 months. I could
understand if it was possible that they're incompatible, but then it
wouldn't show a gig of RAM when the PC shows the bios screen.
Regardless, I'll run memtest86 overnight to be sure. I'll also see
what an ubuntu or knoppix livecd shows.
