Ram Issue

[WesGN]

I just recently bought two sticks of 256mb PC-2100 DDR memory (Micron and Samsung). I've been freezing up and wast wondering if the memory could be conflicting with eachother. I am not sure if the memory is 32X64 or 64X64. If they are different in that way will they conflict? Please help if you can...thank you.
Also is there anyway I can test the memory?

Try running the system with only one stick at a time and see what results you get.

Yes, I tried that as well. I was still freezing in-game.
Is there any type of BIOS setting I should try setting to stabalize it?
My BIOS setting is set to OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, although I tried the FAIL-SAFE settings as well and got the same results.
I also installed the PIC-Latency patch. Also a very funny thing comes up in my MSINFO32 box. It says my total physical memory is 384.0 when I am running 512 MB of DDR (pc-2100) memory. Is this a Win XP error or bug?
