2G Memory Upgrade
PCChips P23G(v1.0) MB wont recognize 2G RAM DDR2 1Gx2 kit in BIOS or XP but yet CPUID does
Latest MB BIOS loaded - other BIOS settings to check?
2x512MB sticks are fine = 1G
2x1GB sticks = 1G in BIOS and Windows XP SP3
Both cases, ValueSelect 533MHZ DDR2 using DDR2 MEM slots

I had similar problem with CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
If this is your RAM:
Corsair 1024MB Value Select PC2-4200 (533MHz) DDR2 RAM, 128Mx64non-ECC, 240-pin DIMM, Unbuffered, CL4, Lifetime warranty (VS1GB533D2) Then it is high density. You need low density to work, look for one ending with an 8, not 64.

Good luck
I have the same problem with this mb i just bought kingston 2gb pk single bank and its showing it as 512mb each stick do you think that updating the bios will resolve this?
Sounds like the 2x1gb is double sided. I've had alot of trouble with pc chips and using more than 1 stick of double sided ram.
Use single sided ram, and you'll be problem free with PC Chips, some of the cheap MSI boards are the same way.
