Somebody will come along with a more intelligent and detailed explanation soon I hope, but I think yes you've hit an issue with the B&W memory controller - it cannot recognize all of the memory on sticks using the higher density RAM chips (as opposed to the lower density ones that result in chips on both sides of the stick).
