The AE23 ises the i815EP chipset, which cannot access more than 512 MB memory!
Its the chipset limitation and not the motherboard's! I simply dont know why Intel put such a stupid limit on their flagship product, but hre it is and you cannot do anything about it!
All you have can do is switch vendors and go for a third-party chipset board, which means extra cost!
