Make sure one stick is in the second slot and one is in the fourth. Also check your bios settings.

Does it have to be in the 2/4, b/c the memory wont fit in the 4th slot due to my xp-120

update to the latest bios you have the 3/10 bios which is crap. Get the 5/10 bios 5/10-1 or 5/10-3 is your best bet unless that stuff is utt then you should get 5/10-2. Download links are on www.dfi-street.com and don't worry I got the same error it means you are running in single channel now so flash the bios and you will be fine.

you need to make a bootable dos floppy disk and put the bios on there to flash it. Hit up google for guides to making one there are tons of them out there.
