Hey Mantis, just wanted to stop in with an update. Turns out it was a pin issue. Didn't notice it till I got the magnifying glass out but turns out there as a pin wholly missing from the seat. So returned the board and now all 6gb are reading and running. Also on the beep code, same thing was happening on the new board. I had changed only a few bios settings before it showed up so I went back and reset them to original one at a time. Turns out that I had set the boot graphics slot to run PCIe-16 instead of just PCI and that for some reason was causing the odd code. So just a point of reference if someone else gets that issue.
Thank you for the help it was most appreciated. Now to get the ole raspberry set up and files xfered so I can finally start playing with mah new toy!
