Techie Skilz Triumph Again

Since I built this super-PC it only recognized 8GB of the 12GB of RAM installed. After no joy on the forums, I shut the machine down, pulled the power cord, pulled out each RAM SIMM and lo and behold the last one in the set was not snapped into place. Re-seated all the SIMMs and now have 12GB seen by the BIOS and Windoze. Yay!
