    Have you tried reseating the memory and clearing your CMOS?

    If this doesn't help go over the settings in BIOS setup with a fine-tooth comb.

    And try every slot config.

    I would switch to 32 bit if you cannot fix this.

    Yep I took a look at it. When I take one out, it still list only 2g usable. When I put 2x512 MB sticks, they both work.

    32 bit would run on a computer with 4 GB of memory, but it doesn't support all of it. 3.25 GB is around the max you'd be using.
