I not convinced that it is entirely the memory's. I ran Prime95 within Windows XP for a few hours with no issue (although only half the total memory in the system was being used).

However, as soon as I put in over 2GB into the system Vista will not boot - even from the Vista CD. The MB (DFI NF Ultra 11) supports up to 3GB of memory, which is proven as the PC boots, load Windows XP and runs Prime95 with no apparent issue. Yet Vista will not load beyond the "time line" screen.

Confused.
