Hi,
yes I read allot about the new batch of TwinMOS PC3200 not being compatible
with any nForce2 chipset. Not sure what the reason is as I have used some
other TwinMOS memory on an ABIT NF7-S and it worked fine.

If there any way you can *swap-out* your memory for some other stuff (got a
buddy with spare ram?)
