Hello, I am having a very hard time getting an Intel se7230NH1-E motherboard with 6gb of memory to work. I keep getting two messages about "Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up". I'm not sure what the BIOS is (it seems to be OEMed to Intel), but with the menu structure I'd have to throw a dart at AMI BIOS. I've scanned the newsgroups/message boards for issues surrounding this and most suggest that there is a BIOS setting that can be tweaked to make things come together. However, I just don't see any of those options - the only thing there with respect to memory involves memory timing. Other posts have talked about unlocking "hidden menus" in the BIOS (I'll save my tirade on hiding BIOS menu options for another day - but whoever did this should be ashamed of yourself). Alas, none of these have given me any luck. So, with that in mind... Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to recognize the 6gb of memory we have installed on the motherboard? - Greg
