  I'm finally ready to set up WHS after many Frankenstein hardware attempts.  After going through my inventory of old parts I decided that old parts with a lot of miles just wasn't going to work for  me.  So, I ordered up some new stuff from newegg and it all arrived yesterday.
  

  • ECS GeForce6100SM-M (1.0) Socket AM2 Motherboard
    
  • AMD Sempron 64 3000+ Manila 1.6GHz Socket AM2 Processor
  • WINTEC AMPX 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit

  The problem is, if I have both memory modules in, it will not POST.  It just beeps over and over again.  I have tried each module on its own in each of the two slots and it will post just fine.  I know the memory isn't bad and I know the motherboard isn't bad I just don't know what I need to do in the BIOS to allow it to use the two modules together.
  
  There are BIOS screenshots beginning here:

  Although I have built many computers I'm not a hardware expert and only have limited BIOS knowledge (boot sequence, etc.).  I would love to get my WHS going today so if you have any suggestions I'm listening.
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  John
