There is a way around that....but...only if you can run the Crucial
RAM tool on your mobo.  It only works under Windows and I don't know
if it works with one of the virtual OS's such as VMware.  It may just
mean popping something like XP onto a spare drive and running it from
that.  It will tell you exactly what RAM your board will handle
though.  Some day they may just bring out a Linux version, after all
it's only hardware info that it gathers.
