This board only has one DIMM slot, and the board is only supposed to support up to 1G. I have 1G installed, and it gets reported as 512M. The only other nearly compatible RAM I have to try is a 2G stick; coreboot sees 2G, then has the same problem; the stock BIOS sees 1G, then Linux crashes later. So no, I can't practically remove that RAM that wasn't found. (This board is kind of lousy overall --when I bought it some of the reviews said it was fussy about RAM, but this particular brand/model# worked, so that's the one I bought, but as I said I could only use half, plus it's really fussy about booting from USB.)
