ok, I can't seem to find the answer to these questions anywhere, I'm hopeing somebody here would know.

1. Will an Asus A8n-E paired with an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 90nm Rev. E ADA3700BN** (San Diego) post? If not, does that mean I have to update the bios of the mobo? If so, to what revision?

2. I plan on getting the following memory to use in a dual channel setting: CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model TWINX1024-3200XL 2-2-2-5. If I put 1 stick in slot A1 (black) and B1 (black) will this work for a dual channel setup? Or must I buy 4 sticks of 256meg and use that in a dual channel setting (placed in all 4 slots?)

If anyone has information on this please pass it along as I was ready to order my parts and then read some conflicting information. I'd like to know with pretty good certainty before I blow alot of money.
 
You'll want exactly 2 sticks of RAM, no more, no less.

You could research that yourself <A HREF="http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/mbindex.htm" target="_new">http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/mbindex.htm</A>. As wether you need to update your BIOS, ALWAYS UPDATE TO THE LATEST VERSION.
