Hello,

The CMOS loosing its settings is usually a battery or power supply issue 
so you can try another known good CMOS battery or power supply to 
isolate the problem.

The board supports a 512MB per DIMM slot for a total of 1GB, the common 
cause for the BIOS not to recognize the correct size of two or more 
memory modules is compatibility issue, the modules have different 
latency timing or a defective memory.

As long as the CPU temparaute doesn't go beyond 50 C the system will be 
fine, this is the most critical factor you need to monitor in the BIOS.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
