Eliminating any potential conflict in the PCI address space between 3
and 4GB. Maybe the board isn't remapping it properly. Maybe the
onboard video makes it do funky memory mapping or something.
My P5K (no intel video at all) with an 8600GT with 2GB ram works fine,
so other than the 4GB ram and the intel video I can't see what could be
causing trouble. I have only run it with the Debian kernels (currently
2.6.24 from Sid).
