Thanks Allan for clearing that up about BIOS drivers. I went ahead today and laid my tower on its side to examine the RAM stick more closely. It was slightly out of place, not enough to sound the beep nor deep enough to be recognized by the MB. My bad in other words. So I pulled it out and placed it back properly. Upon booting, each LED processed normally and I pressed the F2 key to see if its been confirmed. Sure enough BIOS recognized the extra gigs. Awesome. I'm one happy camper.
Thanks again!
