It's possible that the Motherboard is the issue (and I have little love of Intel boards) but I'm beginning to believe their Vista is the issue since I've tried different brands in it and it never works with all 4 slots filled... only 2.

I could be wrong but ... F Vista. Oh, and F Intel Motherboards.
I wouldn't run it with less than 1 GB. 1.5 GB is probably like running Windows XP on 512 MB. Make sure you have at least 2 GB if you plan to play a game like SHIV. The more I play around with it, the more of a resource hog I see it is, and for what? Flashy graphics? XP is the better OS as far as I can see so far. Does the same thing, minus the ability to hit a button and see what windows are running all in a staggered 3D row - oops, I forgot, you can add this capability to XP too with a simple add on!
