Hey Owen,

Your right, I'd forgotten the 4GB ram issue with Windows.  I did
further testing after sending my last email and either dimm works well
by itself or combined with a 1 GB dimm for a total of 3 GB.

I'll run the Memory Test option tonight.

Is there any known 4 GB of RAM issues with Ubuntu or linux? I'm
wondering if I need a kernel switch to get this going properly.

Thank you,

-Sam
