I read on asus site that 4 gb will work only if single sided

1 dimm corsair and 1 dimm kingston works

Any chance to make them work? :??:

I've got the same problem with Asus P5KPL mobo. 3 sticks of ram. All pc 6400 DDR 2, CL5, 240 pin. One stick is a 2GB and the other two are 1 GB each. No matter which slot I use, it won't accept 4 GB without getting an alarm going off on the motherboard and it refuses to boot to bios. It works fine with any combination adding up to 3 GB. Yet the manual claims support for 4GB. Weird, huh?

the system cannot detect up to 4gb ram when you are using window with 32 bit. If you are using window (64 bit), the system can fully detect all the capacity of the ram.
