Okay "JP" and "Rock", well I knew about that Microsoft Article for about
aweek now and I have tried what it says more then once and it does not work
as all I get is errors and issues from Windows and yes my
motherboard(M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition) is capable of 8GB of memory.
So then tell why I can't get it to work? Because if I could get it to work
it would make me very happy, but so far I have had no luck. So whatever info
that I could be provided with would be great.
