I have an Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI Motherboard, i just brought 2x 1gigs Gell Ram same as i had before.

I can install 3gigs (3x1 gig sticks) and it boots but when i put in 4th it doesnt boot, i tried swapping the memory over and still doesnt boot with 4gigs but does again with 3gigs.

My motherboard says it supports more than 4gigs.

*4 X 240-pin DIMM sockets support max. memory capacity 32GB
Supports Dual channel DDR2 800/667/533 Un-buffered Non-ECC memory *

Do i need a bios update of something?
 
its ok i found it and i got 4gigs running now, but as XP 32bit and Vista 32bit show its showing 3.2gigs.

I heard that there is a Service Pack out very shortly for Vista too that might fix this.

I just installed Vista for 1st time today and working well at moment.
