Gabe,
Sorry, I missed that you had problems with the Gig sticks.
It has happened to me before that I needed to flash the BIOS to get a
board to take the biggest sticks they claim to be able to take... or
if it's an older board and newer RAM using chips that are more dense.
BTW - I have several boards that have dual BIOS.

Was this your old RAM, or were you building a gaming rig with 512 MB
of RAM? Also, what is a "secondary BIOS"? I've never known a
motherboard to have more than one.
Yes, that was my old ram- what I had planned on was 2 1GB PC3200 sticks.
As for secondary BIOS- there are dual BIOS motherboards, its not
too uncommon on medium->high priced mobos. Its basicly 2 BIOS
EEPROMs with a non-flashable rom that decides which to use. Its
normal use is for recovery if you have a bad flash of the primary
BIOS, or if the primary becomes corrupted.
