Sorry for asking here, but y'all are the only "useful techies" I

Am trying to put together my next new FreeBSD server ... Intel
based, on an SE7520JR2 DDR2 motherboard ... problem is simple ...
I have 4x1G Kingston DIMMs to put in (KVR400D2R3K2/2G) ... if I put
two in Bank 1, I can boot ... if I put the other two in Bank 1, I
can boot ... if I put 4 in (2 in Bank1, 2 in Bank2), I get three
long beeps ...
Is ther something obvious I'm overlooking here? It doesn't seem
like the RAM, since all 4 sticks do work, so its only leaving me
the motherboard itself ... but wanted to double check ...

I have seen motherboards that can use up to a certain amount of
DDR....past which you are required to use registered DDR
Am using Registered DDR ... I even had my rep confirm with Kingston
that this was, in fact, the right RAM for the motherboard :( I
tried to cover all the bases, but obviously missed on :(
That is what you get for using an Intel based board :-)
Seriously though, try moving the RAM around so that you swap pairs
etc. Reseat. Etc. Will the board work with only RAM in bank2? Try
that if it is supported.
