1) have you tried each memory stick separately?
2) what dimm slots are you putting them in? your manual says to put them in starting with slot 3 (the one thats kind of separate from the others) going to slot 1 which seems kind of counter-intuitive
3) have you checked the BIOS to see what it says?

1. yes i did...and both of them is ok...no problem
2. i put in dimm3 and dimm2, and i try to changed in another dimm too
3. I was updated the BIOS, and i saw dual channel is ok...

but i can boot to safemode and linux normaly...and my memory is 512MB in safemode and linux...i just cannot load to windosXP
