One idea: Make an usb stick with a linux and boot that and see what it tells about the available RAM.

Ray,

Yeah, I'm running on JUST the two NEW sticks now. No hiccups at all on that front.

And all 4 sticks have been recognized in the bios.

I've even tried making then run at 2133 (instead of their stock 2400), as there is some language in the book that seems to denote various ranges that can be recognized depending on whether you're using 4 dual rank or 4 single rank sticks.

I tried all speeds within three enjoyed range to no effect.

The limit is 64 GB (3x16) or maybe even 128 GB with newer RAM.

Does the bios show 4 x 8 GB in the main screen?

What you should check is to replace the old RAM sticks with the new to see if they are running.

Thanks... no change though.

I've heard mention of "maybe your motherboard doesn't allow for more than 16GB", but I'm unable to find ANY reference to any RAM capacity limit for this board. That, and how readily people seem to be able to just go ahead and add ram, leads me to believe, if there IS a limit, it's much higher than 16GB.
