I can't remember where I read this, but I think you have to use certain
combinations of slots (just with this motherboard).
It could have been on ASUS's FAQ, or the ASUS site, or perhaps
it was Tom's hardware page in a review of this board (there is one
there) or hmm...
Try slots one and three.
If you get really stuck scream and I'll dig a little.
