from the ASUS newsgroup a couple months ago (I have not been reading too
carefully since just before Christmas), it appears that people have been
having problems with the middle DIMM slot of the Pentium II P2L97 (LX)
motherboard.

I know you don't want to hear this, but I suggest you buy a 64/128MB DIMM
and place it in one of the outside slots with your existing SIMM in the
other outside slot..
