Memory Trouble. Please HELP!

I have had 2 GB of memory up to now now (4 sticks of 512MB installed in
slots 1,4 and 2,5 respectively). I just bought two more 512 sticks from Geil
and installed them in the remaining slots 3 and 6. My system can't see this
new memory. So I took out all the memory sticks and just put the new sticks
in the slots 1 and 3. The system showed 1 GB of memory, so I know the new
sticks are not defective. That leads me to think that the slots 3 and 6, and
not the new memory, are defective. Am I correct in my conclusion? Can I
remedy this problem somehow?
Thanks.

The mother board is about 4 years old Gigabyte 8KNXP 2d revision.

Best asked in a hardware newsgroup or ask Gigabyte tech support. This is
not an XP OS issue.
