Hi guys,
Looking for some advice on memory configuration for this motherboard, ALL of my SDRAM sticks are only having half of their size detected e.g 256 -> 128 / 128 -> 64 etc, I'm looking to populate the motherboard for 512MB of RAM either in a 2 x 256 or 4 x 128, I have achieved this by using 4 x 256MB modules which should be 1GB and obviously this is wrecking my OCD. I will be honest and say memory configuration is not my strong point and I'm hoping someone with a bit more know how can push me in the right direction or maybe even link me to the correct modules that I need for this motherboard.

I have updated the BIOS to the last version available: QR, At the moment its got a Pentium 2 266 in the slot but I have a P3 500 on its way.
I have found these modules which I think may be compatible as the AB-BX6 does support EEC modules so I'm wondering if maybe these would work in a 2 x 256 configuration for 512MB of RAM?
