You might be onto something here. I swapped the modules so I now
have 8 - 4 - 8 - 4 in slots 1 to 4 respectively. And that gives
me:

real memory  = 25769803776 (24576 MB)
avail memory = 12410671104 (11835 MB)

That at least tells me that 8GB modules are supported.
I'll have to check yet again if there's a setting in the bios
for doublebuffering.
