Where are you seeing the 2GB? In the BIOS or through Windows? Which version of Windows are you running?

That RAM is compatible with that motherboard so it should "see" the whole 4GB.

Make sure it is securely in place. Test each one individually and see.

I'll test each one but they actually light up so I know they are both connected. And I'm running Windows XP Media Center. It shows me the 2GB in the Bios and I tried playing a game and it gave me my system info and it also said 2GB.

What happens if you run 1 stick? Does it say you have 1GB or 2GB of RAM installed?
