Only 1gb of memory is seen when there is really two

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Memory Only 1gb of memory is seen when there is really two

I just bought a p5gd2-vm/s from ascendtech.us http://www.ascendtech.us/itemdesc. [...] VM&eq=&Tp=
and this memory for it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820178095
I put the memory in every configuration in the four slots, every time the motherboard only sees 1gb of ram even though there is 2gb actually there

I cant find anything to suggest that a p5gd2-vm/s even exists. No drivers, manuals, support pages nothing! Is this mobo exclusive to ascendtech.us

if you try 1 stick by itself what happens does it work for both sticks .. one at a time?

both sticks work in the one slot, but only that slot, if i try another slot i get a beeping code, which i found to be a ram error, so if its not in that slot it doesnt see it
