Did you mix the Ram or is it all the same make?

<===Lefty===

how much ram will the mobo support (see their website) as it may not be able to see that much?

Its all ocz platinum ram...same brand same model same type...they look very nice actually lol.

I made sure before i purchased the ram. it states 4 gigs.

The following is from my Dell Manual but I am sure it applies to yours too:

Quote
Addressing Memory With 4-GB Configurations
Your computer supports a maximum of 4 GB of memory when you use four 1-GB DIMMs. Current
operating systems, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP, can only use a maximum of 4 GB of address space; however, the amount of memory available to the operating system is less than 4 GB. Certain components within the computer require address space in the 4-GB range. Any address space reserved for these components cannot be used by computer memory.
End of quote
