On my M3A32MVP...4GB and 6GB work fine. I just get random crashes and BSOD's. Kinda shame but oh well. Just letting anyone else out there know with the same series mobo as me who wants to max out the mem.

Ouch. I got the same hardware. Bios update didnt fix?

Have the newest BIOS, have yet to see a crash with <8GB ram.

well I wont likely be running 8 Gigs before I upgrade everything at some point anyways, if then at all. Just the same if the board supports it- then its supposed to work.

I just stuck in the other two gigs of crucial to see if anything crappy happened. Nope runs fine, albeit 4 gigs on a 32bit os is kinda silly.

I dont have 8 gigs of 1066 to rry in my board otherwise I would give it a shot to see if anything crappy happens. What bios version are you running Steve-O?

Newest one. From sometime in October. 1066MHz doesn't work in Dual-Channel (ganged) mode when using 4 sticks, when using 2 sided sticks (most common, and what I have).

6GB is prefectly fine, meh.
