This is interesting. My testing was done with a single 512MB XMS3200C2 since it usually performs better than 2 on a 845 board. I went back and installed my 2 512 Corsair and they booted fine at stock. I do know using 2 usually requires slightly slower timings - apparently just slow enough to boot. I was also able to duplicate the single stick Corsair problem.
Thanks for the heads-up on the Netherlands BIOS. The German and Taiwan sites have the 12/02 BIOS - but still no 3:4 mem ratio with 533 chips even though it's claimed.
